Home to three major religions, Jerusalem has long been an intensely contested city. As the leaders of the Middle East attempt to forge a lasting peace in the region, this holy place is likely to emerge as the focus of negotiations and bone of contention of the peace process. Cattan argues that Israeli intransigence on the issue of Jerusalem is likely to prove perilous to peace and stability in the Middle East.

The Palestine Question

Croom Helm, Ltd.

Since 1948, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has shaped the policies of an entire region, the Middle East. Henry Cattan's book is an attempt to present the facts in a succinct, objective, and well-researched manner, while enunciating his own judicious peace plan. His analysis reveals a fundamental fact, that the conflict is not merely restricted to the territories seized by Israel in 1967, the West Bank, and Gaza Strip, but extends to the whole territory of Palestine.

The Garden of Joys is an anthology of anecdotes, fables, stories and proverbs related and translated from the oral tradition of the Arab lands and from Persian and Arabic literature. Henry Cattan has selected from a number of oral and written sources evocative of Eastern wisdom and humour and featuring some of the most memorable of Arab folk characters. Most famous of all is Juha, the popular humorist from folk legend who is perhaps best known in the West as Mullah Nasreddin. Juha’s stories have enriched an oral tradition which has centuries during been for the people of the Levant a means of expressing through wit and humour their convictions about humanity, society and man’s place in the world. The last section of the book features a handful of the seven thousand proverbs which are still today used to adorn language and conversation. This collection will provide the reader with good-humoured insights into the wisdom and beliefs of the people of the Arab lands. The book is further enhanced by original drawings by the French artist Christian Buléon.
