Many works have disappeared, but of those which remain, only a handful is known to most Western readers. This book, published here for the first time in English, is an important addition to the library of Arab literature in the West. The book is a collection of stories, drawn from legend, religion and history. Written one hundred years before the publication of \u003cem\u003eThe Prince\u003c\/em\u003e, it examines the subtle use of power and persuasion which one normally associates with Machiavelli. The reader will be familiar with several of the stories found in the book, such as Joseph and the coat of many colours, or Jonah and the whale, but they are presented here from a fresh, Arabic, point of view. The stories, which range from innocent humour to callous cruelty, are frequently allegorical yet contain many political lessons. As an exposition of Arab ingenuity and resourcefulness, the book gives an insight of the philosophy which has reemerged in the Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover with dust jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1980 English translation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e0856920355\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Very Good, the dust jacket has some damage on the bottom of the back cover (see photo's), not price clipped, black cloth with gold gilded letters, otherwise in very good condition, no notes\/stamps. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher:\u003cspan\u003e East-West Publications \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Eureka Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54094012678492,"sku":"","price":375.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/6333\/3724\/files\/RU01.jpg?v=1741197851"},{"product_id":"the-gulistan-or-rose-garden-of-sadi-first-edition-1964","title":"The Gulistan or Rose Garden of Sa'Di, translated by Edward Rehatsek | First Edition 1964","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Gulistan or Rose Garden of Sa'Di, translated by Edward Rehatsek, Edited with a preface by W.G.

Only one well versed in the principles and practices of Natural Hygiene could have separated the different practices of the past, one from the other, and re-synthesized them in the manner that is here done. The reader is, therefore, invited to undertake a study of history such as he has never undertaken before, and, at the same time, to acquire a new and, what must appear to him to be, a radically different view of life and of man's past insofar as our subject relates to his past.'
