Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Dalya Cohen-Mor examines the evolution of the concept of fate in the Arab world through readings of religious texts, poetry, fiction, and folklore. She contends that belief in fate has retained its vitality and continues to play a pivotal role in the Arabs' outlook on life and their social
psychology. Interwoven with the chapters are 16 modern short stories that further illuminate this fascinating topic.
