Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Los Arabes

A riveting, comprehensive history of the Arab people and tribes that explores the role of language as a cultural touchstone. This kaleidoscopic book covers almost 3,000 years of Arab history and shines a light on the footloose Arab people and tribes who conquered lands and disseminated their language and culture over vast distances. Tracing this process to the origins of the Arabic language, rather than the advent of Islam, Tim Mackintosh-Smith begins his narrative more than a thousand years before Muhammad and focuses on how Arabic, both spoken and written, has functioned as a vital source of shared cultural identity over the millennia. Mackintosh-Smith reveals how linguistic developments--from pre-Islamic poetry to the growth of script, Muhammad's use of writing, and the later problems of printing Arabic--have helped and hindered the progress of Arab history, and investigates how, even in today's politically fractured post-Arab Spring environment, Arabic itself is still a source of unity and disunity.

El texto del Sumario permaneció oculto entre los folios del Flandes Indiano resguardados en el Archivo Nacional de Chile. El editor lo ha rescatado y editado para darlo a conocer al público. En él se aprecia el minucioso tratado natural del territorio de Chile; la descripción detallada de los usos y costumbres de sus naturales y su carácter de vigente testimonio de su lengua, una amplia y documentada crónica de los sucesos ocurridos en Chile desde la llegada de los incas a Chile hasta 1653, es la obra de historia más importante escrita durante el periodo virreinal en Chile.
