Arabic Alphabet Animal Poster

The Time-Travels of the Man Who Sold Pickles and Sweets: A Modern Arabic Novel

Although meant for kids (decorating a classroom, nursery or playroom), this is actually a great asset for Arabs who are learning to read and write to memorise the alphabet. www.etsy.com/people/ACraftyArab

Sure, it has an interesting title: The Time-Travels of the Man Who Sold Pickles and Sweets: A Modern Arabic Novel is only one of three novels by veteran Egyptian author Khairy Shalaby translated into English, and its imaginative narrative setup is quite classic. A rather ordinary Egyptian man, looking for a job, finds himself randomly dislocated in time with nothing to keep him grounded in his encounters with other, ordinary Egyptians throughout history but his trusty watch and briefcase. www.amazon.com

Arabicity Published to accompany an exhibition by Rose Issa Projects at the Beirut Exhibition Center in Lebanon, Arabicity features the work of nine contemporary Arab artists whose works explore their cultural heritage and what they find in unique and varied ways. www.amazon.co.uk
