"The Complete Project Gutenberg Works of George Meredith" by George Meredith is a comprehensive collection of the author's literary works compiled from the Project Gutenberg repository and likely written in the late 19th century. This collection spans multiple genres, including novels, plays, and poetry, reflecting Meredith's contribution to literature. One notable work contained within this collection is "The Shaving of Shagpat," which follows the tale of Shibli Bagarag, a barber who embarks on a quest filled with adventure, magic, and transformations. The opening of "The Shaving of Shagpat" introduces us to the main character, Shibli Bagarag, a barber and nephew of a famous barber, Baba Mustapha. At the beginning of his journey, we find Shibli in a state of despair, hungry and destitute as he reflects on his life choices. He encounters an old crone who predicts that he is destined for greatness and instructs him to seek out Shagpat, a majestic figure known for his extraordinarily long hair. The narrative unfolds humorously as Shibli attempts to navigate the challenges he faces in the city of Shagpat. With a rich blend of wit, prophecy, and whimsy, the story sets the stage for Shibli's eventual confrontation with Shagpat and the adventures that lie ahead.
