Anthology of Arabic Literature, Culture, and Thought From Pre-Islamic Times
 to the Present --Audio CD Included--

 This is the first comprehensive reader in the United States to represent 
the
 literary and cultural history of the Arabs from pre-Islamic times to the
 present. This is an essential work for the students of the Arabic language.
 It covers the works of the great Arab authors throughout the ages 
including:
 pre-Islamic poetry and prose; selections from the Qu'ran; writings from the
 Golden Age of the Arabs in prose, poetry, philosophy, and mysticism; works
 from the neoclassical, modernist, and metaphorical schools; discussions of
 cultural, literary, critical, and political movements of the present day;
 and vocabulary lists, a list of idioms and notes, a set of questions about
 the text, and two glossaries. This book not only introduce students to the
 entire sweep of Arabic intellectual, political, and cultural thought but
 also gives examples of how this thought is expressed, offering important
 insight into the Arab mind.

 Bassam K. Frangieh teaches in the Department of Near East Languages and
 Civilizations at Yale University.
