In the tradition of its best-selling predecessor, Darkest England, Shah continues his brilliantly funny look at the English and those who would try to understand them. The author's background gives him a uniquely Eastern and Western perspective from which he weaves a tapestry of characters, commentaries, and anecdotes drawn from his many years as an observer of the English mentality. Shah shares unusually personal stories from his life as a widely respected author, thinker, and advisor. Joining with him are celebrities, treasure-hunters, expatriates, royals, pseudo-royals, and an unforgettable parade of internationals. Together they share a look at the misunderstandings, scholarly absurdities, and comic paradoxes of England and the rest of our ever-shrinking world.

AMERICAN ENGLISH EDITION. The Natives Are Restless chronicles some of the amazing, amusing, and thought-provoking adventures of the Afghan traveller and writer, Idries Shah, among members of what he calls the 'English tribe'. It is an enthralling sequel to his bestselling Darkest England, the narrative illustrating his practised eye as an anthropologist. Shah observes how the English see themselves, and contrasts it with how the rest of the world views this eccentric island race. He also speculates on the likely continuing effect of Englishness on the future development of global society, offering unsuspecting parallels between English attitudes and Oriental wisdom.

The native of southern California—whom the author calls a “Procal”—inhabits the area of Los Angeles and its environs. He came to California because he was tired of something—usually cold weather—and he has become the most hobby- and leisure-conscious citizen in the U.S., devoted as he is to his barbecue, his swimming pool, his beaches, his deserts and his television set. Cynthia Hobart Lindsay describes a long list of Procal habits and habitats: his outrageous driving—which seems to be the most marked manifestation of his “restlessness”; the Sunset Strip which is frequented by the closest thing to a southern California beatnik; Hollywood parties; the penchant for the occult; Forest Lawn Cemetery—which also serves the community as an artistic and cultural center; the out-of-bounds areas—notably Pasadena; and the most recent complexity—the Dodgers. Presented with laughter, lifted eyebrows and affection, here is a wide-screen report on the Never-Never Land of Southern California, packed with bizarre but authentic historical, sociological and psychological facts and anecdotes.
