La terza edizione del bestseller internazionale, riveduta e aggiornata "una narrazione ricca e galoppante che abbraccia il mondo arabo.. Eccezionale, avvincente ed esuberante.. Piena di stravaganti ritratti di personaggi, argute digressioni e magistrale erudizione, che spiega molto di ciò che dobbiamo sapere sul mondo di oggi" simon sebag montefiore "chiunque voglia capire perché il mondo islamico nutra rancore nei confronti dell'occidente dovrebbe leggere the arabs di sir alaistair horne. A partire dalle conquiste ottomane del xvi secolo, questo libro fondamentale segue la storia degli arabi attraverso l'era dell'imperialismo europeo e le rivalità tra superpotenze della guerra fredda, fino all'attuale era del potere unipolare americano. Basandosi sugli scritti e sui resoconti dei testimoni oculari di coloro che hanno vissuto gli anni tumultuosi della storia araba, the arabs bilancia voci diverse - politici, intellettuali, studenti, uomini e donne, poeti e romanzieri, famosi, famigerati e completamente sconosciuti - per dare un senso ricco e complesso della vita nell'arco di quasi cinque secoli. Il libro di rogan è notevole per la sua portata geografica, che copre il mondo arabo dal nord africa alla penisola arabica, e per la profondità con cui esplora ogni sfaccettatura della storia araba moderna. Tracciando l'evoluzione dell'identità araba dall'ottomanismo all'arabismo all'islamismo, affronta temi tra cui il conflitto tra indipendenza nazionale e dominazione straniera, la lotta arabo-israeliana e il processo di pace, abdel nasser e l'ascesa del nazionalismo arabo, il potere politico ed economico del petrolio e il conflitto tra valori secolari e islamici. Questa opera multistrato, affascinante e definitiva è la guida essenziale per comprendere la storia del mondo arabo moderno e il suo futuro.

Charting the evolution of Arab identity from Ottomanism to Arabism to Islamism, it covers themes including the conflict between national independence and foreign domination, the Arab-Israeli struggle and the peace process, Abdel Nasser and the rise of Arab Nationalism, the political and economic power of oil and the conflict between secular and Islamic values.
