They suck in advance:)Believe me. Try to find out Leonid Solovyev, he was writing stories about Hodzha Nasreddin (very famous Oriental charachter, a wise and tricky one).
his first book was named in Russian "Hodzha Nasreddin - a Makebate of Tranquility", it was written in 30st of XX, and was translated only once by American that's why the English translation sounds cheap - something like "One night in harem" or something like that.
