Rifa'a Al-Tahtawi,Daniel L. Newman: An Imam in Paris : Al-Tahtawi's Visit to France 1826-1831
Description
In the 1820s, Rifa'a al-Tahtawi, a young Muslim cleric, was a leading member of the first Egyptian educational mission to Paris, where he remained for five years, compiling his observations of European culture for the benefit of his countrymen. His account, Takhlis al-Ibriz fi Talkhis Bariz, is one of the earliest records of the Muslim encounter with Enlightenment-era European ideas. Al-Tahtawi's book helped introduce ideas of modernity to his native land. In addition to its historical and literary value, al-Tahtawi's work offers invaluable insight into early conceptions of Europe and the Other. Its observations are as vibrant and palpable today as they were over 150 years ago, informative and often acute, to very humorous effect. This annotated translation is the first in English of this classic book, and was originally published by SAQI in 2004. It features a ninety page introduction and is extensively annotated by a scholar fluent in the life, times and milieu of its narrator.
First published between 1668 and 1693, the Fables of La Fontaine rank among the masterpieces of French literature. This volume contains 75 of the best, in the original French with new English line-for-line literal translations. "The Cicada and the Ant," "The City Rat and the Country Rat," "The Fox and the Grapes," many more. "My body, suddenly, carries two stories of loss...One is easy for people to recognise. My mother died of cancer. I watched her age twenty-five years in eight weeks...My other story marks me as different. It is more silent and more savage, it is not pure and no one knows how to approach it. Somewhere I lost my husband." When Maggie's vibrant An Imam in Paris : Al-Tahtawi's Visit to France 1826-1831 pdf young husband, father to a five-year-old daughter and an unborn son, dies tragically, Maggie is left widowed and due to give birth three months later to their second child.
