Book of Khalid

Complete and unabridged, with 53 full-page plates by George Bellows, Edvard Munch and Childe Hassam. Two Lebanese friends emigrate to New York, sell trinkets, quarrel about God and America, and go home changed. Rihani wrote it in 1911 - the first novel in English by an Arab author, and the beginning of Arab-American literature. This edition binds 53 plates of painting with the text, among them Munch, David Roberts and George Bellows, alongside four restored and coloured illustrations.
