About this book
Two Lebanese friends emigrate to New York, sell trinkets, quarrel about God and America, and go home changed. Rihani wrote it in 1911 - the first novel in English by an Arab author, and the beginning of Arab-American literature. This edition binds 53 plates of painting with the text, among them Munch, David Roberts and George Bellows, alongside four restored and coloured illustrations.
