This guide's focus is modern literary Arabic, particularly the style employed by newspapers. The authors, experienced teachers, begin each chapter with a text embodying the points to be discussed. The carefully chosen vocabulary terms are those that arise most often in spoken and written Arabic, and a vocabulary list appears in the appendix.

"In its simple and disarming style, it is a great piece of reporting on a rugged frontier."
"The book is a jewel case of keen perception, social analysis, and masterful description for this era."
First published in 1957 (by Princeton U. Press), this introduction to modern Arabic teaches a basic reading knowledge of the language sufficient for reading Arabic newspapers. Each chapter provides rules of grammar and includes illustrative texts and exercises. Both authors taught Arabic at Princeton U. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
