Présentation de l'éditeur

Co-written with Arabian horse breeder Kellie Kolodziejczyk, Bachir Bserani supplies over just a mere listing of Arabic words with meanings. He transcends this by providing hand picked Arabic names that are easily pronounced by Roman language speakers. The Arabic names are written in both the masculine and feminine form in Romanised Arabic. Next to each name is the English meaning as well the phonetic pronunciation. This is a very important aspect of the book, and is what sets this book apart from standard Arabic dictionaries. Furthermore, each name is also written in Arabic calligraphy so that the reader can see the word in the native Arabic language.What makes this book especially charming and unique is the narrative and stories written in the tradition of legendary Bedouin storytelling. Beginning with the origin of the Arabian horse breed, the philosophy behind the importance of giving authentic Arabic names, and the significance of the Arabian horse breed to the Bedouin tribes the introduction draws the reader in and then carries them on a beautiful journey through the Arabian world of storytelling. It is filled with quotes and breathtaking, full-colour photographs throughout.
