Arabian Essays

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

First Published in 1982. This collection of informal essays is described by the author as talks they have given to people who know the, best as a poet, minor academic, and major bureaucrat. These talks were to Saudi Arabian audiences and speak from an Arab point of view - whether about poetry, education, or the social problems of a rapidly developing environment. The author aims to bestow adventurous thinking onto the reader, claiming this to be of a greater value than similar titles which instead encourage cerebral quietness.
