Rihani in a New Book

الريحاني في كتاب جديد

Have you read Ameen Rihani in Kings of the Arabs?

Have you read him in The Farthest Maghreb and The Heart of Lebanon?

Have you read him in Calamities, Extremism and Reform, Outside the Harem, and You Poets?

If you have perused him in all of these — and no doubt you have — then do not forget to read him also in The Modern History of Najd, or the Life of King Abdulaziz Saud, a historical masterpiece that Rihani wove with a brush dipped in myrrh and frankincense, the work of a masterful, unruly, sardonic pen. It has appeared in a handsome volume befitting the subject.

Order it from the Rihani House for Printing and Publishing, Bab Idriss — Beirut.
