Inhaltsangabe:
Jacques Berque has distilled a lifetime's passionate study of Arab history and culture into this eloquent essay Arab Rebirth: Pain and Ecstasy shifts effectively from pre-Islamic Arabia to twentieth-century Morocco; theology to linguistics; desert oasis to urban slum; T E Lawrence to Nasser; and poetry to the politics of oil. Berque presents a perceptive synoptic portrait of a civilization in the grip of change. This book conveys all the misery of a situation still stamped by centuries of foreign domination, and all the hope of a renaissance now an hundred years old and yet still in its infancy.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:
Born in Algeria, Jacques Berque (1910-95) was among the most eminent living authorities on the Arab world, intimately familiar with Arab countries from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf. A Professor at the Collège de France, poet, scholar and translator, he wrote a score of works, of which several have been translated into English (notably The Arabs, French North Africa and Egypt: Imperialism and Revolution). He was a member of the Advisory Panel for the ten-part film series The Arabs, shown on Channel 4 television in Britain.
