This is a study of the life and work of Taha Husein, rightly regarded as the father of modern Arabic literature, and whose work is widely used as introductory texts for students of the language.

Recenzje

'An important and original contribution to our understaning, not only of Taha Husayn himself, but also of the intellectual climate in which he and his contemporaries studied and worked. It deserves to be widely read, not only by students of modern Arabic literature but by all those interested in the development of Arab cultural and intellectual trends in the first half of the twentieth century.' - Paul Starkey, British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies
