The Arabs and the European Civilization (1975) by Mohamed Mofid Alshobashi

I have found another title exploring the relationship between the Arabs and the European Civilization. It is "The Arabs and the European Civilization (1975)" by Mohamed Mofid Alshobashi. It has no content as it just an introduction to the topic to be read during a bus journey or so. This is evident from the book description in from of the title "Ketab Geb" i.e. a small book that fits in ones' pocket and one could finish reading it in a bus journey. The current book is only 124 small pages long and was appeared in Cairo and Baghdad in the same time in 1975.


The Myth of European Civilization by Atia Amer 1990

Searching the print culture of modern and contemporary Egypt for "The European Civilization", I found a book titled "The Myth of  The European Civilization" by Atia Amer. The book is published in 1990 by the still operating The Anglo-Egyptian Publishing House (https://www.anglo-egyptian.com/en/). Unfortunately, the title is not to be found in their online catalog neither I can find a digital copy of it online. This book is wanted. I hope someday I will catch it.


The Influence of the Arabs on the European Civilizaton by Abbās Mahmūd al-Aqqād (1889 –1964)

The Influence of the Arabs on the European Civilization is one of the latest books of  Abbās Mahmūd al-Aqqād (1889 –1964), the famous Egyptian intellectual and author. The book was first published by Dar el-Maarif in 1960 with many subsequent unaltered editions, which may indicate the wide popularity of this title. The last of these editions is published in 2013 by Hindawi charity foundation. You can download a free version (kindle, pdf or ePub) of it from here:http://www.hindawi.org/books/57380918/ . Here is the book cover and the content.
