Rosenthal Franz
Humor in Early Islam
8vo, original cloth pp.154. It contains an annotated translation of an Arabic text on a figure who became the subject of many jokes and anecdotes, the greedy and obtuse Ashab, a singer who lived in the eighth century but whose literary and fictional life long survived him. The translation is preceded by chapters on the textual sources and on the historical and legendary personalities of Ashab; the book ends with a short essay on laughter. Whether or not the jokes will make a modern reader laugh, the book is a valuable source for those seriously interested in a religion or a culture that all too often but unjustly is associated, by outsiders, with an aversion to laughter.

Osama Bin Laden, Bruce Lawrence (Editor), James Howarth (Translator)
Messages to the World: The Statements of Osama Bin Laden
8vo, softcover, pp. 227. Despite the saturation of global media coverage, Osama bin Laden's own writings have been curiously absent from analysis of the "war on terror." Over the last ten years, bin Laden has issued a series of carefully tailored public statements, from interviews with Western and Arabic journalists to faxes and video recordings. These texts supply evidence crucial to an understanding of the bizarre mix of Quranic scholarship, CIA training, punctual interventions in Gulf politics and messianic anti-imperialism that has formed the programmatic core of Al Qaeda. In bringing together the various statements issued under bin Laden's name since 1994, this volume forms part of a growing discourse that seeks to demythologize the terrorist network. Newly translated from the Arabic, annotated with a critical introduction by Islamic scholar Bruce Lawrence, this collection places the statements in their religious, historical and political context. It shows how bin Laden's views draw on and differ from other strands of radical Islamic thought; it also demonstrates how his arguments vary in degrees of consistency, and how his evasions concerning the true nature and extent of his own group, and over his own role in terrorist attacks, have contributed to the perpetuation of his personal mythology. i messaggi di osama bin laden in inglese.

GÖNÜL DÖNMEZ-COLIN
Women, Islam, and Cinema
Illustrated edition. 208 pages. 6.75x4.75x0.50 inches. "This is the first book to examine the troubled relationships between women, Islam and cinema. Film critic and author Gönül Dönmez-Colin explores the role of women as spectators, images and image constructors in the cinemas of the countries where Islam is the predominant religion, focusing on Iran and Turkey from the Middle East, drawing parallels from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, the two Central Asian Republics of the former Soviet Union, and Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Indonesia, the prominently Muslim Asian countries with a challenging film industry. Some of the relevant films made in India by and for Muslim Indians are also explored. Dönmez-Colin examines prevalent cinematic archetypes, including the naïve country girl who is deceived and dishonoured, or the devious seductress who destroys the sanctity of marriage, and looks well at controversial elements such as screen rape, which, feminist film critics claim, caters to male voyeurism. She also discusses recurring themes, such as the myths of femininity, the endorsement of polygamy and the obsession with male children, as well as the most common stereotypes, depicting women as mothers, wives and daughters. Given the diversity of cultures, rather than viewing national cinemas as aspects of a single development, the author focuses on individual histories, traditions and social and economic circumstances as points of reference, which are examined in the context of social and political evolution and the status of women within Islam. Women in Islamic Cinema is a much-needed and timely work that will appeal to the curious reader as well as to the student of film." Publisher's description.

Attar, Farid Al-Din. Trans. A. J. Arberry
MUSLIM SAINTS AND MYSTICS. Episodes From the Tadkirat al-Auliya (Memorial of Saints). Translated by A.J. Arberry
Episodes from the Tadhkirat al-Auliya' ('Memorial of the Saints') by Farid al-Din Attar. 1976 reprint of the 1966 first pp. xii, 287 p., bibl. This version of a classic of Islamic mysticism was first published in 1966, allowing the one prose work by the great Persian poet Farid al-Din Attar to be recognized as thought-provoking, but also amusing. These brief biographies, telling of the deeds, parables, and miracles of the great mystics, can defy conventional dogma, but they shed unique light on the riches of the interior Sufi world.

Kazerouni Alexandre
Le miroir des Cheikhs. Musée et Politique Dans Les Principautés Du Golfe Persique
8vo, br. rd. 272pp. L'association entre « pays du Golfe » et « culture » est nouvelle, et elle étonne, tant elle contredit l'image habituellement associée aux principautés du golfe Persique. La multiplication des annonces de musées à forte visibilité internationale au Qatar et à Abou Dhabi en a été la forme la plus éclatante ces dernières années. Or, ces musées-miroir, comme l'auteur les appelle, n'ont pas émergé dans un désert culturel. Le Louvre Abou Dhabi n'est pas un « Louvre des sables ». Dès les années 1970, les États de la rive sud du golfe Persique s'étaient déjà tous dotés d'au moins un grand musée national. En comparant ces deux modèles de musées, Alexandre Kazerouni montre comment de la deuxième guerre du Golfe (1990-1991) est né un nouvel ordre régional qui a non seulement mis à mal l'hégémonie saoudienne sur la péninsule arabique, mais a aussi modifié le rapport de force entre les familles régnantes et leurs sujets. En opérant une plongée dans la vie politique intérieure si mal connue du Qatar et d'Abou Dhabi, Le Miroir des cheikhs donne à voir comment l'adoption des marques culturelles du libéralisme peut nourrir l'exclusion politique des classes moyennes dans un régime autoritaire. cultura e musei negli emirati. Alexandre Kazerouni est politologue, spécialiste du monde musulman contemporain et des pays du pourtour du golfe Persique en particulier. Il est chercheur à l'École normale supérieure, université Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL). Collection dirigée par Gilles Kepel.

Irvin Robert Intr. Malcolm Lyons Ed.
Tales of the Marvellous and News of the Strange
16mo, br, ed. pp.963. On the shrouded corpse hung a tablet of green topaz with the inscription: I am Shaddad the Great. I conquered a thousand cities; a thousand white elephants were collected for me; I lived for a thousand years and my kingdom covered both east and west, but when death came to me nothing of all that I had gathered was of any avail. You who see me take heed: for Time is not to be trusted. Dating from at least a millennium ago, these are the earliest known Arabic short stories, surviving in a single, ragged manuscript in a library in Istanbul. Some found their way into The Arabian Nights but most have never been read in English before. Tales of the Marvellous and News of the Strange has monsters, lost princes, jewels beyond price, a princess turned into a gazelle, sword-wielding statues and shocking reversals of fortune

Hamilton Omar Robert
La città vince Sempre
8vo, br. ed. 334pp. Khalil è uno studente americano giunto al Cairo per studiare musica e riscoprire le radici arabe che da lungo tempo suo padre si è lasciato alle spalle. Mariam è una giovane egiziana che ha ereditato dalla madre la passione per l'impegno politico e la difesa delle classi sociali più svantaggiate. La loro storia sentimentale nasce e prende forma in piazza Tahrir, il luogo fisico e simbolico in cui si accende la speranza democratica di un'intera generazione di giovani. Insieme ad altri compagni di lotta, da un appartamento che dà sulla piazza, diffondono in rete filmati e notizie. Si sentono al centro del mondo, artefici del rinnovamento della società tutta, non solo araba, e il loro amore si nutre dell'energia della rivolta. Ma la Storia procede inesorabile in altre direzioni. Con la vittoria elettorale della Fratellanza musulmana dilaga la violenza, che fa emergere ben presto scenari da guerra civile. Dopo il colpo di stato e l'ascesa del generale al-Sisi, a poco a poco si spegne ogni fermento rivoluzionario. E l'agonia di un lungo inverno dello scontento colpisce anche l'amore tra Khalil e Mariam. Omar Robert Hamilton intreccia una vicenda sentimentale a uno dei nodi centrali della storia più recente, trovando una cifra e una costruzione narrativa nuove: una coerente polifonia di cupo lirismo e scrittura materica, scene d'azione che somigliano a riprese in tempo reale, voci che si passano il testimone, stralci di post attraverso i quali passa la lotta e la narrazione collettiva in una spirale che scende a inghiottire il domani.

Follath Eric
Al di là dei confini: Viaggio nel mondo dell'islam sulle tracce del grande avventuriero Ibn Battuta
8vo, tela ed. sovrac. pp.238. Ibn Battuta è conosciuto come il «Marco Polo arabo»: nel XIV secolo, il grande avventuriero viaggiò in gran parte del mondo allora conosciuto, e in trent'anni la sua odissea lo portò dal Marocco alla Mecca, da Costantinopoli e la Crimea fino a Samarcanda, l'India, l'Indonesia e la Cina. Nel racconto delle sue avventurose perigrinazioni, il «re di tutti i viaggiatori» descrisse l'islam come una religione del progresso e della tolleranza. Settecento anni dopo, Erich Follath ne ripercorre il cammino, attraversando un mondo islamico che nel frattempo è profondamente mutato. Soffermandosi in tredici luoghi fondamentali per Battuta, Follath riesce a immortalare con un'evidenza impressionante la situazione dell'attuale mondo islamico, sottolineandone i drammatici problemi, le lotte e le sfide future. "Al di là dei confini" è una ricerca sulle tracce di una delle personalità più affascinanti del Medioevo, un viaggio lungo un anno in città antiche e moderne, un'inchiesta che si muove tra passato e presente, e che approfondisce alcune delle problematiche politiche di scottante attualità, offrendo al lettore un reportage sul dirompente presente dell'islam.

Muhanna Elias
The World in a Book: Al-Nuwayri and the Islamic Encyclopedic Tradition
8vo, hardcover in dj. Language: English . Brand New Book. Shihab al-Din al-Nuwayri was a fourteenth-century Egyptian polymath and the author of one of the greatest encyclopedias of the medieval Islamic world--a thirty-one-volume work entitled The Ultimate Ambition in the Arts of Erudition. A storehouse of knowledge, this enormous book brought together materials on nearly every conceivable subject, from cosmology, zoology, and botany to philosophy, poetry, ethics, statecraft, and history. Composed in Cairo during the golden age of Islamic encyclopedic activity, the Ultimate Ambition was one of hundreds of large-scale compendia, literary anthologies, dictionaries, and chronicles produced at this time--an effort that was instrumental in organizing the archive of medieval Islamic thought. In the first study of this landmark work in a European language, Elias Muhanna explores its structure and contents, sources and influences, and reception and impact in the Islamic world and Europe. He sheds new light on the rise of encyclopedic literature in the learned cities of the Mamluk Empire and situates this intellectual movement alongside other encyclopedic traditions in the ancient, medieval, Renaissance, and Enlightenment periods. He also uncovers al-Nuwayri s world: a scene of bustling colleges, imperial chanceries, crowded libraries, and religious politics. Based on award-winning scholarship, The World in a Book opens up new areas in the comparative study of encyclopedic production and the transmission of knowledge.
