| Kitap Tanıtımı | A joy to read . . . Quite simply, the best general history of the Arab world a reader can buy' Boston Globe in a work "of profound and lasting importance, Albert Hourani telis the defınitive history of the Arab peoples from the seventh century, when the new religion of islam began to spread from the Arabian Penin sula westwards, to the present day. A History of the Arab Peoples is a masterly distillation of a lifetime of scholarship and a unique insight into a perpetually troubled region. For this edition, Malise Ruthven continues the history to include such recent events as the crisis in Iraq, the civil war in Algeria and the after-math of September llth. A splendid achievement... Written with just the right mix of sensitivity, and a feel for the irony of human history. This is history in the grand style.' New York Times 'Hourani's history is the summation of a lifetime's work, his magnum opus.' Akbar Ahmed, Guardian A great historian of the Arab peoples.' Timothy Garton Ash |
