It covers a wide range of topics and styles and the helpful vocabulary lists and comprehension questions are perfect for self-study."-- Adam Talib, The American University in Cairo "This text will be a boon to the teacher of Classical Arabic. Not only does it contain a wide range of authentic texts, all with abundant support materials, but it also devotes attention to matters of culture and to skills such as analysis and presentation. It is a welcome addition to the resources currently available for the Classical Arabic classroom."-- Kay Heikkinen, The University of Chicago

It introduces students to classical Arabic literature through twenty guided readings of works spanning prose genres from travel writing to philosophy, science, religion, humor, and imaginative fiction, including texts by al-Jahiz, al-Kindi, Ibn Khaldun, and Ibn Rushd. Original texts are supplemented with supporting explanatory material, to make them accessible to students, who then progress through an extensive series of exercises to test their comprehension, develop interpretive and critical reading skills, and apply the linguistic structures to their own speaking and writing. Each of the twenty lessons is designed to stand alone for classroom use or individual study, making this a valuable resource for students and teachers alike.
