Opis

Juha is an old Arab comic literary figure around whom countless anecdotes were written. He appears variously as preacher and beggar, thief and honest man, judge and social critic, Jester and charlatan. While the subject matter is Arab or otherwise Islamic, the humor transcends national and cultural boundaries.
