In addition to works by writers already well-known in the West such as Idwar al-Kharraṭ, Fu’ad al-Takarli and Nobel Prize-winning Najib Maḥfuẓ, the collection includes stories by key authors whose fame has hitherto been restricted to the Middle East.

This bilingual reader is ideal for students of Arabic as well as lovers of literature who wish to broaden their appreciation of the work of Middle Eastern writers. The collection features stories in the original Arabic, accompanied by an English translation, a brief author biography and a discussion of context and background. Each story is followed by a glossary and deliberation on problematic language points.
