Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award Despite the turmoil of Arab nationalism and fundamentalism, Middle Eastern wars, and oil crises, the history of the Arab world has been little known and poorly understood in the West. One reason may be that, for more than half a century, there has been no up-to-date single-volume work that chronicles the story of Arab civilization--until now.  Albert Hourani, distinguished historian and interpreter, has written a masterwork, a panoramic view encompassing twelve centuries of Arab history and culture. He looks at all sides of this rich and venerable civilization, including the beauty of the Alhambra and the great mosques, the importance attached to education, the achievements of Arab science--but also internal conflicts, wide-spread poverty, the role of women, and the contemporary Palestinian question.

Der Islam im europäischen Denken

S.Fischer

A partir el siglo VII, cuando la nueva religion del islam empezaba a propagarse desde la peninsula arabiga hacia Occidente, hasta el presente, Albert Hourani despliega con eficacia y con una amplia documentacion, la historia de los pueblos arabes asi como su relacion con los grandes temas de la historia mundial. Hourani describe la expansion del monoteismo y del idioma arabe, hablado en paises tan diferentes como Egipto, Siria o Marruecos, y cuya impronta tan profundamente ha quedado grabada en la lengua espanola, asi como la creacion del poderoso imperio otomano y su desintegracion, la expansion del comercio europeo durante el siglo XIX, el surgimiento de los nacionalismos y las naciones estado, la transformacion de la cultura arabe bajo nuevas influencias, y la reafirmacion de la identidad islamica en los ultimos tiempos. Esta nueva edicion se completa con el epilogo de Malise Ruthven en el que se incluyen acontecimientos como la crisis de Iraq, la guerra civil de Argelia y las consecuencias de los atentados 11 de septiembre. / Beginning in the 7th century, when Islam began to spread from the Arabian peninsula to the West, and working through to the modern day, this study effectively documents the history of Arab peoples and their relationship to major turning points in world history.
