Newman is to be congratulated on making the first translation into English of this remarkable book, and on supporting the text with a first-class introduction and with footnotes that are as full as one could wish"—"Times Literary Supplement" "A touchstone for thinking about the tangled relations between Islam and modernity . the most amazing and entertaining curiosity"—Matthew J. Reisz, "Jewish Quarterly" In the 1820s, Rifa'a Rafi' al-Tahtawi, a young Muslim cleric, travelled to Paris as a leading member of the first Egyptian educational mission, where, during a stay of five years, he documented his observations on European culture. His account, "Takhlis al-Ibriz fi Talkhis Bariz "("The Quintessence of Paris"), is one of the earliest and most influential records of the Muslim encounter with Enlightenment-era's European ideas, introducing ideas of modernity to his native land. Al-Tahtawi's work offers invaluable insight into early conceptions of Europe and the "Other." His observations are as vibrant and palpable today as they were over one hundred and fifty years ago; informative and often acute, to very humorous effect. An irrefutable classic, this new edition of the first English translation is of seminal value. It is introduced and carefully annotated by a scholar fluent in the life, times, and milieu of its narrator. Daniel L. Newman is professor of Arabic and course director of the master's program in Arabic-English Translation and Interpreting at the University of Durham. His other works include "Modern Arabic Short Stories: A Bilingual Reader" (with Ronak Husni, Saqi Books, 2008). The classic text that brought European Englightenment ideas to the Arab World in the nineteenth century.
