This is a beautiful book, showing the importance of writing as an art, in communication, and as an instrument of knowledge. IN simple, elegant words and stunning illustrations incorporating Arabic calligraphy, the author takes the reader into his world. The reader gets a look into life in a different cultures and will find some ways in which it is very like his own.
