These are some of the themes of the twenty-four stories in this volume, each by a different author and rendered into English by one of the finest translators of Arabic fiction. Among the authors represented are Edward El-Kharrat, Bahaa Taher, Alifa Rifaat, and Ghassan Kanafani. Through the eyes of insiders, these stories show us the intimate texture of life throughout the diverse countries and cultures of the Arabic world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Denys Johnson-Davies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520089448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520089440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.56w x 0.57d","brand":"Denys Johnson-Davies","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056203100415,"sku":"9780520089440","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d540582c-7ee0-40f0-a202-0327173c8917.jpg?v=1685040064","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arabic-short-stories-denys-johnson-davies-9780520089440","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
