Modern Arabic short stories : a bilingual reader

Designed as a reader for intermediate students of Arabic and anyone interested in the work of Middle Eastern writers, this collection features stories in both English and Arabic on facing pages.

Prefaced by a brief author biography plus notes on context and background, each story is followed by a glossary and discussion of problematic language points.

The stories collected here are by leading authors in the Middle East, including Naguib Mahfouz, Edwar al-Kharrat, Liana Badr, Layla al-Uthman and Mohamed Choukri.
