A Reader in Modern Literary Arabic
(This book is intended for the student who has covered the...)
This book is intended for the student who has covered the essentials of Arabic morphology and syntax, presented in such introductory works as AN INTRODUCTION TO MODERN ARABIC by F. J. Ziadeh and R. B. Winder, and who has read simple selections of prose like that found in newspapers. It can, therefore, be described as an intermediate reader. The thirty-four selections found in the book represent the modern literary style of writing in the Eastern Arab countries. The writers hail from Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. No poetry or selections from works of North African writers are included as these two subjects merit separate treatment. The selections may be divided into five categories: Selections I-XIII are either of the essay type or represent the attempt of the writer to deal with particular issue or experience; Selections XIV-XIX deal with political subjects; Selections XX-XXIV represent local color; Selections XXV-XXIX are biographical; and Selections XXX-XXXIV are short stories. In most cases the selection is an abridgment of a longer piece; the original language, however, is kept, and only minor transitional phrases are employed to keep the continuity of the meaning. A main feature of the book is a very careful count of all words in the elections. These were found to number 5,048 separate vocabulary units. Includes notes and exercises relating to the readings, short author biographies, an Arabic-English vocabulary, an index of idioms and set phrases, and an index of grammatical points.
