Since the time of the First Crusade, the picaresque adventures of the rascal Abu Zayd of Saruj have been read, admired, imitated and praised from Spain to the Hindu Kush. It is the inner thread of this amazing book that makes it a world classic: the tales and events mirror the antics of the human mind in its way through life. The last chapter where the "rascal," after all his experiences, settles down to a devout Sufi life, gives the clue to this fascinating textbook of traditional psychology.

First, we must agree that the Impostures cannot be translated. It just can't. At first, I would read an imposture and then listen to a reading of the Maqamat Al- Hariri in Arabic on YouTube. I soon gave that up. If you picked up the Impostures to get a sense of the Maqamat, there is a good chance that you will be sorely disappointed. However, do not give up on this text. Read it for what it is, and what it is is an erudite translation of the untranslatable! Cooperson takes each of the fifty impostures, and translates it in its own style, in a manner that he finds fitting with the context of that particular imposture. It is very cleverly done. Some chapters are laugh out loud funny.
Check out #Impostures #AlHariri2020 on Twitter for the illustrations and city information that go with each imposture.
