The book itself is intensely interesting both in its historical account and its description of these three great cities and is profusely illustrated with most beautiful pictures and drawings of the famous places in them. The difference of "atmosphere” of Cairo and Jerusalem which, though both so distinctly Eastern, are yet in many ways so unlike, is wonderfully conveyed. The pictures in this book make you long to go there and, indeed, this delightful volume must give almost equal pleasure to those who have been in the places and those who have not, for it seems to take back those who have been there and it brings the scenes and places to those who have never actually seen them.

A delightful artifact of the fascination with the Middle East that gripped the Western intelligentsia in the early 20th century, this charming 1907 work is a showcase for the lovely paintings of renowned English artist WALTER TYRWHITT (1859-1932) of scenes in the ancient cities of Cairo, Jerusalem, and Damascus. The accompanying text, by English scholar DAVID SAMUEL MARGOLIOUTH (1858-1940)-a professor of Arabic at Oxford University-is based on original sources from the region and the works of other celebrated historians, and serves as an enchanting primer to the history of these storied cities. Hard to find in print today, this replica edition makes a wonderful gift for fans of English art and armchair travelers alike.

With What ʿĪsā ibn Hishām Told Us, the Library of Arabic Literature brings readers an acknowledged masterpiece of early twentieth-century Arabic prose. Penned by the Egyptian journalist Muḥammad al-Muwayliḥī, this exceptional title was first introduced in serialized form in his family’s pioneering newspaper Miṣbāḥ al-Sharq (Light of the East), on which this edition is based, and later published in book form in 1907. Widely hailed for its erudition and its mordant wit, What ʿĪsā ibn Hishām Told Us was embraced by Egypt’s burgeoning reading public and soon became required reading for generations of Egyptian school students. Bridging classical genres and the emerging tradition of modern Arabic fiction, What ʿĪsā ibn Hishām Told Us is divided into two parts, the second of which was only added to the text with the fourth edition of 1927. Sarcastic in tone and critical in outlook, the book relates the excursions of its narrator ʿĪsā ibn Hishām and his companion, the Pasha, through a rapidly Westernized Cairo at the height of British occupation, providing vivid commentary of a society negotiating—however imperfectly—the clash of imported cultural values and traditional norms of conduct, law, and education. The “Second Journey” takes the narrator to Paris to visit the Exposition Universelle of 1900, where al-Muwayliḥī casts the same relentlessly critical eye on European society, modernity, and the role of Western imperialism as it ripples across the globe. Paving the way for the modern Arabic novel, What ʿĪsā ibn Hishām Told Us is invaluable both for its sociological insight into colonial Egypt and its pioneering role in Arabic literary history. A bilingual Arabic-English edition.
