Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tales That Are Told When Kudah Bux was born, the festivities and rejoicings in the house of his father, Mahomed Ishak, surpassed anything of the kind that could be recalled in the village by even the oldest people. Money was given lavishly to the poor; priests, friends, relatives, and connections were entertained with extravagant hospitality: the neighbourhood was demoralized for days - nobody worked, everybody feasted and received presents, and everybody, apart from these advantages, was genuinely delighted that Mahomed Ishak should at last be the father of a son. His three wives, despite persistent supplication to dead and living saints, and resort to various magical spells and charms, had brought him numerous daughters, but no male heir. Finally, when hope was at an end, a fourth wife was espoused, albeit with reluctance on the part of Mahomed Ishak, now an elderly man content with his middle-aged ladies; yet all were agreed that, in face of the deplorable circumstances, the fourth marriage was unavoidable.
