A fascinating collection of modern folk tales from Egypt In this book Hasan M. El-Shamy has gathered the first authentic new collection of modern Egyptian folk narratives to appear in nearly a century. El-Shamy's English translations of these orally presented stories not only preserve their spirit, but give Middle Eastern lore the scholarly attention it has long deserved. Ranging from the fantastic to the religious to the philosophical and beyond, these stories offer insights into the folk culture of one of the oldest societies in the world.
