Tim Mackintosh-Smith: Arabs – A 3.000-year History of Peoples, Tribes and Empires

June 17^th at 4 PM (c.t.)

Please register here.

Yemen based author Tim Mackintosh-Smith is going to present his comprehensive approach to Arab history in his latest book. As reviews put it, “this work strips away centuries of erroneous myth-making and returns the history of the Arab peoples to the secure bedrock of their language. It’s in touch with the poetry of the desert a millennium and a half ago and the trauma of the mountains today.”

The book is out now in German translation by wbg Theiss, Darmstadt.

This event is hosted by Colinda Lindermann and Ruben Schenzle.
