Summary
Arabic, with its rich literary heritage, is one of the major languages of the world. it is spoken by about one hundred million people inhabiting a wide and important area of the Middle East. Yet the language and its significant role in history are little known in the English-speaking countries except among specialists. This book will, it is hoped, help to introduce the language and demonstrate its importance to a wider audience. -- Jacket.
