Product Details for Abu Jmeel's Daughter & Other Stories - Arab Folk Tales from Palestine & Lebanon
These 27 traditional folk stories were written down, shortly before her death, by Jamal Sleem Nuweihed, who had recounted them to the children of her extended family over many years. Authentically Arab in there themes, yet timelessly universal, they are sometimes magical, sometimes naturalistic, and combine a wealth of vivid detail with elements of pathos and humor. Translated by family members of various generations, then expertly edited, the book is a precious store of the kind of tale endlessly cherished but in danger of dissapearing.
Jamal Sleem Nuweihed (1907-1991) is the author of three published novels and many poems. The folktales are only a small part of the rich repertoire of tales she kept alive in her memory until her last days.
Published by Interlink Publishing Group, 5 1/2" x 8", Softcover, 345 pages.
