Arabic countries develops students’ mastery of literary analysis
and cultural awareness Aswat Mu’asira introduces advanced level
students to contemporary short stories from across the Middle East.

traditions. The book includes voices from often overlooked
Arabic-speaking countries and peoples, giving readers the

longer works, the short stories in this collection are designed to
be read in one sitting, giving students the opportunity to immerse
themselves in a complete piece of literature. Stories are organized
into chapters based on their country of origin. Each story is
preceded by an author biography and followed by exercises to help
students practice vocabulary and comprehension, explore the
literary tradition, and master literary analysis. Scholars of
Arabic literature will also welcome these new stories, many of
which are available outside the Middle East for the first time in
this collection and expand the understanding of the short story and
of contemporary literature from this important region.
Reading Latin, first published in 1986, is a bestselling Latin
course designed to help mature beginners read classical Latin
fluently and intelligently. It does this in three ways: it
encourages the reading of continuous texts from the start; it
offers generous help with translation at every stage; and it
integrates the learning of classical Latin with an appreciation of
the influence of the Latin language upon English and European
culture from antiquity to the present. The Text and Vocabulary,
richly illustrated, consists at the start of carefully graded
adaptations from original classical Latin texts. The adaptations
are gradually phased out until unadulterated prose and verse can be
read. The accompanying Grammar and Exercises volume completes the
course by supplying all the grammatical help needed, and the second
edition has been fully revised and updated. It has also been
extensively redesigned to make it clearer and easier to navigate.
