The language of the Arabs and its effects on shaping the mentality

The language of the Arabs.. and its impact on shaping the Arab mentality by Hussein Ahmed Amin ... The book discusses several topics about identifying the reasons for the slowdown in the development of the Arabic language after centuries of leading the global cultural scene in remarkable flexibility, as well as its ability to be a fertile material that absorbs all sciences transferred to it from the Persians, Indians, Greeks, and others. It also touched on some Arab authors and poets resorting to attributing their books and poems to other authors and poets and the secret behind these actions. In addition, it reviewed the problem of deletion and change in classical literary texts such as the texts of One Thousand and One Nights and Shakespeare's plays. Among the astonishing topics the book delves into is the character of Zenobia, whom the historian Gibbon described as the greatest queen in history despite the neglect of Arab history towards her, while her enemies from the Franks showed deep reverence and respect for her. These studies raised questions such as: Is dialogue between religions possible? And what is the reason that the broad masses' stance towards moderate religious reformers is mostly hostile, among other questions and discussions about language, literature, and heritage that complete Hussein Ahmed Amin's project and place him among the ranks of the great Egyptian thinkers.
