Features: Avantí is a precious and vibrant humor character contributed by the ancient and lively folk world. This perpetually optimistic and eloquent man is somewhat kind-hearted, somewhat clever, somewhat cunning, somewhat worldly, somewhat reckless, somewhat unlucky, and somewhat foolish. He always rides a stubborn donkey, appearing in rural fields, royal courts, high society, courts, celebrations, markets, travels, homes, and all sorts of places where disputes, challenges, ridicule, embarrassment, intellectual tests, and various traps await him. This lucky man seems to always turn misfortune into good fortune, escaping from all kinds of dangers with dignity, leaving behind a pile of jokes. Avantí's stories have been passed down for eight hundred years. If this research is credible, then Avantí's original name should be Nasreddin Hoca, born in 1208, primarily active in southwestern Turkey. Of course, this claim is strongly opposed by Uzbeks, Arabs, Chinese, Africans, and others. "The Complete Avantí" is a carefully compiled and curated work that extracts and supplements a large number of omitted anecdotes and Avantí-like stories (including "The Stories of Nasreddin" and "The Stories of Juha") from various versions of Avantí stories around the world. It also includes hundreds of newly designed comic illustrations, meticulously arranged into a twelve-volume set. This "Complete Avantí" is believed to bring readers a fresh experience and make them laugh even louder.
