Book on Quran's literary style

Wakas

Seems to be very detailed, and looks very useful, but I have not read it yet.

I contacted the author, and it is not available cheap.

Great find bro!

One can always ask their library to get it for you...

It seems WHSmith (UK) sells three for the price of two, so the one will cost ?60.00. (3 for ?180.00). Anyone for the share?

Wakas

peace Samia,

I'm in. So that's two sorted. I can go ahead and buy, and keep one for anyone who wants one in future at this reduced price. Let me know.

he also wrote this

Wakas

I just bought it for ?34 from abebooks.

It seems he has several books which are similar, see here.

I will email him to see what the differences are, with regard to Quranic analysis.

I'll buy one. ;D

Samia

I'll buy one. ;D

Now that's sorted out Rasul, Wakas and me. Who will do the buying? I can do it online or go tomorrow to the High Street.

Wakas

I bought mine on Abebooks, so I'm out.

It is best to wait anyway, until we see what the difference is, because his "Exploring The Quran" book has about 200 more pages and written later, so will likely be better, and it's only ?15.

Wakas

Author wasn't helpful.

I received my copy today. May take me a month or two to read it. I will let you know.

Wakas

So far it seems to be catered for an academic audience. If you are interested in linguistic and translation theory it is perfect. I just received "Exploring The Quran" by the same author and this seems better and only ?15. Will let you know.

Hello,

I am interested by these books too, and I am looking forward to your comments.

Hello,
Are the books written by this author really interesting ?

wildguest1956

Has someone read "Exploring The Qur?an" ?

Wakas

It is heavy on linguistics and translation theory. I didn't find it that interesting, but it is ok.

uq

I agree with Wakas. I see that it does more to indicate than educate.

Are you talking about "Exploring The Qur?an" ?
