( Arabic for Life takes an intensive, comprehensive appro...)
Arabic for Life takes an intensive, comprehensive approach to beginning Arabic instruction and is specifically tailored to the needs of talented and dedicated students. Unlike the other Arabic textbooks on the market, Arabic for Life is not specifically focused on either grammar or proficiency. Instead, it offers a balanced methodology that combines these goals. Frangieh has created a book that is full of energy and excitement about Arabic language and culture, and it effectively transmits that excitement to students. Arabic for Life offers a dynamic and multidimensional view of the Arab world that incorporates language with Arabic culture and intellectual thought. The book is accompanied by a DVD with some eighty videos of native speakers reciting the vocalized texts in the book and dozens of audio recordings covering vocabulary and expressions, drills on Arabic sounds and letters, and various exercises and activities.

This book—the first comprehensive reader of Arabic literature from pre-Islamic times to the present—is an essential work for advanced students of the Arabic language. Presenting seventy works by seventy authors, it includes: • pre-Islamic poetry and prose; • selections from the Qur’an; • the Prophet Muhammad’s last sermon; • the powerful writing of Ali Ibn Abi Talib, the fourth Islamic Caliph; • writings from the “Golden Age of the Arabs” (750-1258 A.D.) in philosophy, mysticism, prose, and poetry; • works from the neoclassical, modernist, and metaphorical schools; • literature of the Arabs in Andalus, Spain; • discussions of cultural, literary, critical, and political movements of the present day; • vocabulary lists, a list of idioms and notes, a set of questions about the text, and two glossaries. This book not only introduces 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 Frangieh
Edit ProfileEducation
Georgetown University.
Career
He is best known for his pedagogical innovations in the study of the Arabic language, as well as his translations of modern Arabic poets and novelists. Frangieh also lectures on the society and culture of the Arab world. His family, Palestinians who had owned an orange grove in Yaffa, had been relocated there due to the conflicts associated with the creation of the state of Israel.
His family is distantly related to the famous Frangieh family of Lebanon, including former Lebanese president Suleiman Frangieh, but the Palestinian Frangieh family tree diverged from the Lebanese family tree several generations ago.
Frangieh eventually moved to Syria to attend university, earning a Bachelor of Arts from Damascus University in 1976. Frangieh attended graduate school in the United States, and received a Doctor of Philosophy in Arabic literature from Georgetown University in 1987.
After receiving his doctorate, Frangieh taught Arabic at Georgetown for several years before accepting a position at Yale University. After his resignation from Yale in 2007, Frangieh joined Claremont McKenna College as a full-time Arabic professor and the head of the Arabic Department for the five Claremont Colleges while writing and researching new Arabic books
He is the head of the Middle East studies department.
A notable alumna that Frangieh oversaw was Catherine Blakelock, who became an Army officer in New York State with the 1-258 FA.
