Description
xThis book is one hundred years ahead of the era of the Italian politician Machiavelli, as it contains “political tricks” that put it on par with “The Prince” in terms of teaching the arts of leadership and governance. It is distinguished by its distance from the style of direct delivery and overt teaching, choosing stories and tales as a means of teaching and guidance.
The strange thing is that this book, originally written in Arabic, since 1061 AH/1651 AD, has remained unknown to Arabic readers, while it has been widely circulated among readers of a number of European languages since 1976, when researcher René Khawam extracted this book from a manuscript deposited in the National Library in Paris. Its publication was not limited to the French language, but also extended to other languages.
We have no doubt that the Arab reader will gain a double benefit: joy from the stories and anecdotes on the one hand, and the restoration of Arab political history on the other hand.
