With magical simplicity, Fritz Mühlenweg shares encounters with people from a land where, despite sandstorms, wolves, and robbers, the waiting politeness remains a serious and enjoyable matter. As a supplement – so to speak, presented with a blue Haddak – the stories are enriched by more than 100 wonderfully graceful maxims. These are the wisdoms from which Mühlenweg readers can glean a more relaxed way of life and with which they also like to identify themselves. We have collected them from the main work "On a Secret Mission Through the Gobi Desert": a blend of nomadic experience, the archaic wisdom of the I Ching, and Winnie-the-Pooh-like wit. For practical everyday use, everything is organized: waiting, greeting unexpected events, travel wishes, comforting words at farewells, sayings for reunions, distractions from work, respectful words for young people, sayings to strengthen courage, against narrow-minded views, words of hospitality, praise for sleep, Mongolian for beginners, and much more.
