Book excerpt: This is a unique collection of tales from Iraq's folklore, presented in English for the Western reader. These tales are the product of centuries of colourful history, transmitted verbally often by highly skilled female story-tellers. This was a time when media, as we know it today, did not exist but the verbal tradition meant that the stories could be appreciated also by those who could not read or write. Groups, including women and children, would sit and listen, mesmerised, imagining the characters and events being portrayed.

Book Synopsis The Corpse Exhibition by : Hassan Blasim
Download or read book The Corpse Exhibition written by Hassan Blasim and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-02-05 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A blistering debut that does for the Iraqi perspective on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan what Phil Klay’s Redeployment does for the American perspective “[A] wonderful collection.” —George Saunders, The New York Times Book Review The first major literary work about the Iraq War from an Iraqi perspective—by an explosive new voice hailed as “perhaps the best writer of Arabic fiction alive” (The Guardian)—The Corpse Exhibition shows us the war as we have never seen it before. Here is a world not only of soldiers and assassins, hostages and car bombers, refugees and terrorists, but also of madmen and prophets, angels and djinni, sorcerers and spirits. Blending shocking realism with flights of fantasy, The Corpse Exhibition offers us a pageant of horrors, as haunting as the photos of Abu Ghraib and as difficult to look away from, but shot through with a gallows humor that yields an unflinching comedy of the macabre. Gripping and hallucinatory, this is a new kind of storytelling forged in the crucible of war.
Book Synopsis Photojournalists on War by : Michael Kamber
Download or read book Photojournalists on War written by Michael Kamber and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-05-15 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With previously unpublished photographs by an incredibly diverse group of the world's top news photographers, Photojournalists on War presents a groundbreaking new visual and oral history of America's nine-year conflict in the Middle East. Michael Kamber interviewed photojournalists from many leading news organizations, including Agence France-Presse, the Associated Press, the Guardian, the Los Angeles Times, Magnum, Newsweek, the New York Times, Paris Match, Reuters, Time, the Times of London, VII Photo Agency, and the Washington Post, to create the most comprehensive collection of eyewitness accounts of the Iraq War yet published. These in-depth interviews offer first-person, frontline reports of the war as it unfolded, including key moments such as the battle for Fallujah, the toppling of Saddam's statue, and the Haditha massacre. The photographers also vividly describe the often shocking and sometimes heroic actions that journalists undertook in trying to cover the war, as they discuss the role of the media and issues of censorship. These hard-hitting accounts and photographs, rare in the annals of any war, reveal the inside and untold stories behind the headlines in Iraq.

Download or read book Folk Takes from Iraq written by and published by . This book was released on 1995-06-01 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of 23 folk tales from Iraq which are translated from the vernacular. Until the beginning of this century, storytelling was part of cultural life in Iraq. Male story-tellers, known as Qassakhoon, would tell their tales in coffee-houses and female story-tellers would tell them inside the house to the women and children. However, the art is now dead in Iraq as cinema and TV have taken over. Collecting some of these stories and presenting them for the reader may help in preserving them. The book includes an introduction and a glossary of words such as common expressions in colloquial Arabic in Iraq and the mythological figures.
Book Synopsis The Three Princes of Serendip: New Tellings of Old Tales for Everyone by : Rodaan Al Galidi
Download or read book The Three Princes of Serendip: New Tellings of Old Tales for Everyone written by Rodaan Al Galidi and published by Candlewick Press. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This feast of Middle Eastern folklore from an award-winning Iraqi storyteller is paired with vibrant cut-paper art. The twenty fables and folktales in this illustrated storybook have taken a long journey. Many have roots that stretch across Europe, Asia, and Africa, but when award-winning writer and gatherer of tales Rodaan Al Galidi learned them in his homeland of Iraq, it was as Arabic folktales and as part of the Arabic storytelling tradition. When he migrated to the Netherlands, he shaped twenty of those tales into his debut book for children, which was translated to English by Laura Watkinson. Filled with wisdom about love and acceptance, and warnings against folly, these elegantly translated stories—many unknown in the United States—of donkeys and roosters, kings, sheikhs, and paupers are exquisitely illustrated by cut-paper artist Geertje Aalders. Beautifully packaged, The Three Princes of Serendip is a rich and varied introduction to the world of Middle Eastern folklore.
