The Book of Ruses: The Political Strategy of the Arab World
A book of fourteenth-century tales of political morality only recently discovered in the ancient manuscript collection of Paris's Bibliothèque Nationale. Written in a rich, anecdotal style, The Book of Ruses is a series of finely woven parables that contain nothing less than the foundations of Arab political thought.
