Features: Avantai is a precious and vibrant humor character contributed by the ancient and lively folk world. This perpetually optimistic and eloquent figure is somewhat kind-hearted, clever, mischievous, worldly, reckless, unlucky, and foolish, always riding a stubborn donkey and appearing in rural fields, royal courts, high society, courts, celebrations, markets, travels, families, and all sorts of places of conflict. What awaits him are endless disputes, challenges, ridicule, embarrassment, intellectual tests, or various traps. Yet this lucky man seems to always turn misfortune into good fortune, escaping all kinds of dangers with dignity, leaving behind a trail of laughter. The stories of Avantai have been passed down for eight hundred years. If this research is credible, then Avantai's original name should have been Nasreddin Hoca, born in 1208 and primarily active in southwestern Turkey. Of course, this claim is strongly opposed by Uzbeks, Arabs, Chinese, Africans, and others. The Complete Works of Avantai is a carefully compiled and curated collection that draws from various versions of Avantai stories from around the world. It uncovers and supplements a large number of overlooked anecdotes and Avantai-like tales (including "The Stories of Nasreddin" and "The Stories of Juha," etc.), along with hundreds of newly created comic illustrations. This twelve-volume set is meticulously arranged, and it is believed to bring readers a fresh experience and even louder laughter.
