This work is dedicated to the discussion of the issues of the Armenian Genocide of 1915 in Arab historiography.

This delightful selection of tales from The Thousand and One Nights are masterpieces of the art of storytelling. The beautiful Scheherazade saved her life by entertaining the brutal King Shahryar with these tales of magical transformations, genies and wishes, terror and passion. Here are the famous adventures of "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" and "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp", as well as less familiar stories, such as "Prince Behram and the Princess Al-Datma", a charming early version of The Taming of the Shrew.

Burton`s unexpurgated translation, gives the reader all the sensuality and lushness of the original Arabic. Exotic,...

This book shows the progression of Interior Design of the Arabian countries. In contrast to many countries modeled according to the Western traditions, the Arabian culture is closely tied to religious and social values. The current discussion regarding contemporary architecture broaches the subject of the importance of tradition and deals with the Arabian identity.

Arabian Design presents the projects of renowned offices and young...

No other edition offers extensive textual apparatus such as explanatory notes, plot summaries, particularly vital as stories are complex and interwoven. The Sultan Schahriar`s misguided resolution to shelter himself from the possible infidelities on his wives leads to an outbreak of barbarity in his kingdoms and a reign of terror in his court, stopped only by the resourceful Scheherazade. The tales with which Scheherazade nightly postpones the muderous intent of the sultan have entered our language and our lives like no other collection of narratives before or since. Sinbad, Aladdin, Ali Baba: all make their spectacular entrance on to the stage of English literary history in the "Arabian Nights Entertainments" (1704-17). The stories...

WHO STOLE THE FROGS? When something`s amiss in the Spook household, there`s usually only one suspect - Araminta.

These aren`t just any old frogs. Araminta must deal with crazy Old Morris, a dangerous shark, and a demanding - if somewhat unexpected - audience if she`s going to find the frogs and perhaps even steal the show, too.
