Publisher's Synopsis
We introduce Mary Richo in her Arabic Novel "al Shabiha." It was selected for publication as part of Ihyaa al Turath al Arabi fil Mahjar (Revival of Arab heritage in Diaspora) project supported by the Arab American Encyclopedia originated by the managing editor, a well known Arab American scholar, poet, and author of more than 250 books, Dr. Hasan Yahya resides in Michigan-USA, and has four children and ten grandchildren. Arab women were always second to man in the Arab culture and other cultures in the world across history. Therefore, in literature we discern that almost the majority of books written were by or on men authors. Recently in the Arab countries excellence of women talents were found and prove their genre as poets, writers, and leaders figures and force themselves to be recognized of excellence. One of the great women writers is Mary Richo who authored several novels and rewarded several national, regional and international awards. Good Arabic novel to read.
