Although much of the world's great poetry and prose is in Arabic, it is not nearly as well known as it deserves to be. NIGHT AND HORSES AND THE DESERT provides a valuable introduction to the subject. The anthology spans the 5th century to the 16th, from Afghanistan to Spain, and includes extracts from all the major classics, as well as the more obscure. Alongside the extracts, Irwin's commentary and guides to each text provide an explanatory history of Arabic literature, including brief biographies of the princesses, warriors, caliphs and mystics who created such a rich literary culture.
