Thank you. I am an Arab. I follow you to learn the English language by listening to you. I was surprised today by your presentation of Arabic novels by Naguib Mahfouz. Your pronunciation of Arabic names is good. Thank you. I follow you every day. Your presentation is wonderful. I used the translator to
Great to see People that don’t speak Arabic read some of Naguib Mahfouz’s works , one of my favorite writers of all time although I’m not sure how well the translations hold up to his original work . Great to see nonetheless and hope you enjoy more of his works. FYI in case you’re interested his name is pronounced Na-geeb Mah-fooz
Thanks. I read a lot of books that have been translated from different languages and I always wonder how accurate they are to the original. There have been a couple of books I've read by different translators that have had some subtle differences but, mostly, agreed. I do plan on reading more of Mahfouz in the future, The funny thing is that before I did the video I asked a friend if he knew the correct pronunciation of Naguib Mahfouz and I think I had been saying it fairly accurately but he thought it was Na-gube so I went with that.
Really enjoyed the video, but I've always wondered why would someone like you who is surronded by lots of great English and French pieces of literature would be interested in Arabic literature! Considering the huge difference in cultural backgrounds.
I enjoy reading books from all over the world. It's a great way to learn about the cultural differences of the various regions. I think it would be boring if I only read about things I know and I would rather experience new ways of thinking.
Love Mahvuz, and I'm not connected with Arabs in any way. Children of our Alley is phenomenal. I found it as an example for life to be a source of religion, not other way around. It also goes this way for mythology. Don't get me wrong, I am not too rational. Love also some books wrote by Rushdie.
He's a great writer. I like what you said about life as a source of religion and agree with you. My intention is to do a video of the books I've read by Rushdie sometime in the future. I've read quite a number of his books and I think most of what he wrote was phenomenal.

The only book by this author I read is Arabian Nights and Days. It's a modern version of the book of 1001 Nights, much shorter. I really liked it.
