"A Tale Within a Tale" by Ahmad Omid, originally published in 1995 and now in its seventy-second edition, is a collection of oral and colloquial stories passed down from the author's mother. The narrative begins with the story of a gracious and benevolent king who possesses a significant flaw – an insatiable desire for self-praise and admiration. Expecting others to extol his virtues, the king becomes the subject of excessive flattery, with sycophants seizing every opportunity to sing his praises. However, amidst the flattery, one person becomes troubled by the situation and seeks a solution. As the tales unfold, Ahmad Omid, renowned as one of contemporary Turkey's most widely read authors, masterfully weaves a captivating narrative that traverses the realms of human behavior and societal dynamics.
