In the time of its long-lasting decline it has served as the rallying-point of the nomadic tribes which surround it, their place of the pilgrimage when living and burial when dead. But all the learning, culture, and erudition of Kairwan have unfortunately almost dissapeared for centuries. ... Her ancient splendor has disappeared; her independence and exclusiveness have luckily prevented her entire decay. However, reduced in size and glamour, Kairwan is still an intact Islamic and Arab city.... Future genrations will visit the vestiges of the great Mosque of Okhba and the tomb of \"My Lord the Companion\" and reflect deeply on the instabilty of things in general and the declined Moslem magnificence and empire in particular and lament the loss of a prestigious past.\u003c\/p\u003e The New York Times\u003cbr\u003e Published: December18, 1881\u003cbr\u003e Copyright c, The New York Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Touhami Negra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1450291600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781450291606\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Touhami Negra","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444931342591,"sku":"9781450291606","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_165e2a0e-e7fe-45b7-af31-5001348d71dd.jpg?v=1777215514","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kairwan-through-the-ages-touhami-negra-9781450291606","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
