Forty Years in Arabia
This book contains a panorama of the Arab world, as seen through the eyes of an Arabist and academic, comprising the author's reflections on fifteen Arab countries, their peoples, culture, and landscapes and an updated aperçu of this strategically significant region. Born in Australia through fortunes of war, Peter Emery spent his formative years in Malaysia and Scotland before embarking on a teaching career, which took him to most countries of the Arab World, culminating in a stint as Visiting Professor of Translation Studies at UAE University, Al-Ain, 2010-2013.
One Score in the Hexagon
The Hexagon (L'Hexagone), a name commonly used by the French to refer to their country, derives from its six-sided cartographic outline. In June 2000, my wife Jo and I bought a secondary residence in a 'little known Languedoc port' called Marseillan. This book describes the evolution of our on-off visits to this region, as well as some of the town's local inhabitants and traditions, up to the time of our return to Australia in 2017. Trips to France, made by the author as a student of French in the 1950s/1960s, add up to the 'score' (of years) mentioned in the title. A chapter is included giving the author's selective 'take' on France and the French.
