Contemporary Arab World

Contemporary Arab World: Literary and Linguistic Issues, edited by Iwona Król, is the second volume of the monograph with the same title. It consists of papers written by researchers from the Arabic Department of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków.

The authors, on the base of original texts from broadly understood Arab culture, discuss a number of literary and linguistic issues. Individual chapters are of high academic level, and their subject matters are important from the scientific point of view.

In my opinion, the reviewed monograph will find readers among specialists from various fields: Arabic and Semitic studies, Polish philology, as well as representatives of literary criticism and general linguistics.
