Klappentext zu „Classical Arabic Stories “
Short fiction was an immensely innovative art in the medieval Arab world, providing the perfect vehicle for transmitting dazzling images of life and experiences as early as pre-Islamic times. These works also speak to the urbanization of the Arab domain after Islam, mirroring the bustling life of the Muslim Arabs and Islamized Persians and reflecting the sure stamp of an urbanity that had settled very staunchly after big conquests. All the noises and voices of the Umayyads and Abbasids are here. One can taste the flavor of Abbasid food, witness the rise of slave girls and singers, and experience the pride of state. Reading these texts today illuminates the wide spectrum of early Arab life and suggests the influences and innovations that flourished so vibrantly in medieval Arab society.

Rezension zu „Classical Arabic Stories “
"A groundbreaking work to complement the prestigious anthologies that Salma Khadra Jayyusi has already published. An exceptionally gifted scholar, Jayyusi has made an important contribution to scholarship in the Arab world and the West. This highly innovative anthology is conceived around the notion that classical Islam is varied, rich, synthetic, and inventive, a mixture of races, cultures, and histories that expressed itself in Arabic as the language of power and Islam." - Amira El-Zein, Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service, author of Islam, Arabs, and the Intelligent World of the Jinn
