An engaging collection of contemporary short stories from various
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.
Fifty-five stories in Arabic from twenty countries engage students
with current topics and literary approaches that open the door to
discovering both established and emerging authors and literary
traditions. The book includes voices from often overlooked
Arabic-speaking countries and peoples, giving readers the
opportunity to broaden their understanding of Arabic cultures.
While most Arabic literature textbooks include only excerpts of
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.
