Anthology of Arabic literature, culture, and thought from pre-Islamic times to the present

Anthology of Arabic literature, culture, and thought from pre-Islamic times to the present is a classical arabic literature first published in 2004 by the contemporary author Bassam K. Frangieh. Indexed in KitabiHub under Classical Arabic Literature, Philosophy & Thought, Religion & Spirituality, The Arab World, Modern Arabic Fiction, it sits alongside other classical arabic literature on the same shelf.

Like much of the Arabic literary tradition, Anthology of Arabic literature, culture, and thought from pre-Islamic times to the present rewards close reading: its rhythms reach back to a thousand years of poetry and rhetoric, while its concerns — exile, memory, the city, the desert, the relationship between the writer and the political moment — speak directly to the present. Readers approaching the book without prior background will find the description above a useful entry point; those already familiar with Bassam K. Frangieh's work will recognise the recurring preoccupations.
