  3. Who was Nasreddin Hodja • Nasreddin Hodja was a significant folk philosopher, with a view on life as intensely amusing as it is inspiring. • He was the smiling face out of the dark Middle Ages. • Nasreddin Hodja was born in 1208 in Hortu village near Sivrihisar in Central Anatolia. • He received his early education from his father, the village imam, and went on to study at the medrese (University that mainly teaches Islamic Studies, along with Maths, Science, Astronomy and Islamic Law.)

  4. Who was Nasreddin Hodja • Later he became a professor at the medrese in Aksehir and served as Judge. • Nasreddin Hodja died in 1284 at the age of 76, in Aksehir.

  5. Life &Death According to Hodja • Nasreddin Hodja was buried in a tomb which symbolizes the absurdity in life which he had loved to expose while alive. A door with a great lock stands by the tomb, but there are no walls for a door.

  6. Characteristics Of Hodja • Nasreddin Hodja was a man of the people who saw the world through their eyes. • In the pessimistic and strife-torn world of the Middle Ages, Nasreddin Hodja gave out optimism. • Yet this certainly did not prevent him from attacking injustice with wounding words. In his accounts he always seeks a peaceful way to get his message across, getting the better of his antagonists without argument or fight.

  7. Characteristics Of Hodja • He loved life, and despite being a man of religion disliked speaking of death. When he was asked about where the mourners should stand when carrying the coffin at a funeral, he replied, "As long as you are not the one inside it doesn't matter where do you stand”.

  8. Nasreddin Hodja Stories • Nasreddin Hodja stories are universal because they describe human nature and weaknesses of mankind everywhere. • The incidents and characters in these stories illustrate the comic, eccentric and inconsistent aspects of human beings through Nasreddin Hodja's smart and sharp observations.

  9. ExamplesofNasreddinHodja’sJokes • One day a man stopped him and said, "Hodja, a roasted stuffed turkey just went past." Nasreddin Hodja replied, "What has that got to do with me?" "But it went to your house", said the man. "What has that got to do with you?" replied Nasreddin Hodja. • For this project I have selected 3 Nasreddin Hodja Jokes in Turkish translated them into English, and brought them to life by making a movie.
