(Hodja Nasreddin Efendi may or may not haved lived in four...)
Hodja Nasreddin Efendi may or may not haved lived in fourteenth century Anatolia. "Hodja" means "teacher", and the man himself was probably an imam or a Sufi priest. If he was not a real person, it has been necessary to invent him, and his wit, charm and drollery are known throughout the Islamic world and further afield. George Borrow's translation selects the best Hodja tales from the hundreds which exist and are still told in tea-houses, bus-stations, schools and homes today.

Borrow was born on July 5, 1803 at East Dereham, Norfolk, the son of Army recruiting officer Thomas Borrow and farmer's daughter Ann Perfrement.
He studied law, but languages and literature became his main interests.
His father, a recruiting officer, took his family to military posts in various parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland, retiring to Norwich in 1816. During these years, young Borrow developed a taste for the wandering life, became fascinated by languages, and began his long association with the gypsies. In 1819 he was articled to a Norwich law firm, but more interesting to him than law were gypsies, prize-fighters, and foreign tongues, of which he learned twelve by his 18th year. After his father's death in 1824, he went to London hoping to publish translations from Welsh, Danish, and German; but after a year of literary hack work he left to wander awhile the roads of England. The next seven years he spent mostly in Norwich, studying, translating, and seeking employment. In 1833 the British and Foreign Bible Society sent him to Russia to oversee publication of the New Testament in Manchu (which he had learned in six months). Later (1835 - 1839) he was assigned to Spain, where he distributed Spanish translations of the New Testament. Borrow's first two original works were The Zincali (1841), an account of the Spanish gypsies, and The Bible in Spain (1843), a racy narrative of his unusual adventures, which was an immediate success. Lavengro (1851) and its sequel The Romany Rye (1857) comprise an autobiographical novel drawing on his early wanderings, his study of languages, his year in London, and his experiences with the English gypsies. In Wild Wales (1862) he told of his Welsh tours and his enthusiasm for Celtic literature. Romano-Lavo-Lil (1874) is a gypsy "wordbook. " In addition to these works, Borrow published a number of translations from over 30 languages, especially Welsh and Danish. Borrow's status in English literature, though modest, rests securely on The Bible in Spain, Lavengro ("philologist"), and The Romany Rye ("gypsy gentleman"). His style is vigorous and direct, but often possesses subtle and poetic overtones, notably in the abundant dialogues. His eccentricities and vanities, an affinity for odd people and strange adventures, and a love for walking down the open road - these give his books a distinctive quality still bright and fresh. Above all, he is famous for his sympathetic portrayal of the gypsies and his pioneering study of Romany. He was the first Englishman to know the gypsies intimately; and though later research is more complete and realistic, his picture of them retains its essential veracity as well as considerable charm. He died at Oulton Broad on July 26, 1881.
