Book Description
Foreword
Dear reader, you are about to step into the bustling streets of historical Baghdad. What lies ahead is a timeless masterpiece of wit, delight, and striking contradictions. At first glance, you might find yourself questioning who the true protagonist of this story is. Is it Abu Qasim Al-Tanbouri, the wealthy merchant? Or is it his notoriously tattered, heavily patched shoe, an item so famous that it became a proverb across the land? As you read, you will likely discover the truth: both man and shoe play equal, inseparable roles in a wondrous dance of fate. Without one, the other's tale would be entirely empty.
This exquisite English translation is crafted by Gehad Mahmoud, a brilliant young Egyptian translator. Translating classical Arabic folklore is no walk in the park. It requires hitting the right note and capturing the cultural essence of the original text.
Mahmoud does not just translate word-for-word. She masterfully preserves the swift mockery and rhythmic cadence of the Baghdad markets. Thanks to her sharp pen, this age-old masterpiece hits home for modern readers.
