Politics and cunning among the Arabs - Dar Al Saqi

This book is a hundred years ahead of the Italian political thinker Machiavelli, as it contains "political tricks" that place it among the books of "The Prince" in terms of teaching the arts of governance and rulership. It is characterized by its departure from direct speech and overt teaching, choosing story and tale as a means of education and guidance. Strangely, this book, originally written in Arabic since 1061 AH / 1651 AD, remained unknown to Arabic readers, while it has been published and circulated among readers of several European languages since 1976, when researcher Rene Ghouam extracted this book from a manuscript stored in the collections of the National Library in Paris. Its publication was not limited to the French language but extended to other languages as well. We have no doubt that the Arab reader will find double benefit: joy from anecdotes and stories on one hand, and the revival of Arab political history on the other.
