ALL STRANGERS ARE KIN: TRAVELS IN THE ARABIC LANGUAGE
Book ID/图书代码： 12844015B79851
English Summary/英文概要： Zora O’Neill’s ALL STRANGERS ARE KIN uses her twenty years of experiences with the Arabic language - starting with her studies at Princeton (in a pre-9/11 era when learning Arabic was an uncommon pursuit) and extending through her travels in the Middle East and North Africa, including a trip planned over the span of writing this book -- to paint a much broader, multifaceted portrait of a very misunderstood and culturally fertile region of the world. Now more than ever, the Middle East is in our headlines – from ongoing stories of US military incursions to the uncertain triumphs of the Arab Spring - yet few people understand much about the area. Through the lens of studying its rich and thorny language, Zora is able to shine a personal, illuminating and often humorous light on the diverse cultural and social landscape of the various Arabic-speaking countries.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 佐拉•奥尼尔的《所有的陌生人都是亲戚》借鉴了她与阿拉伯语打交道的二十年的经验——从她在普林斯顿的研究开始（在9•11事件以前学习阿拉伯语是一种罕见的追求），以及延伸到她在中东和北非的旅行，包括写这本书的计划旅行——到刻画这个世界上被深深误解和文化丰富的地区的一个更为广泛的，多方面的肖像。中东现在比以往任何时候都更多地登上我们的头条新闻——从正在进行的美国军事入侵的故事，到阿拉伯之春的不确定胜利——很少有人熟知这个地区。通过研究其丰富而棘手的语言，佐拉能够在不同的阿拉伯语国家的不同文化和社会景观中闪耀个人的、富有启发的和幽默的光芒。（LNL）
