Features: Avantai 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, clever, mischievous, worldly, reckless, unlucky, foolish, always riding a stubborn donkey, appearing in rural fields, royal courts, high society, courts, celebrations, markets, travels, families, and all sorts of places where disputes, challenges, ridicule, embarrassment, intellectual tests, and various traps await him. This lucky person seems to always turn misfortune into good fortune, escaping from all kinds of dangers with dignity, leaving behind a pile of jokes. Avantai's stories have been passed down for eight hundred years. If this research is credible, then Avantai'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 "Avantai Series" is based on the collection and extraction of different versions of Avantai stories from around the world, uncovering and supplementing a large number of omitted anecdotes and Avantai-like stories (including "Nasreddin's Stories," "Zhuha's Stories," etc.), and re-creating hundreds of comic illustrations. It is meticulously arranged into a twelve-volume "Complete Avantai Collection." This series is expected to bring readers a brand-new experience and make them laugh even louder.
