DAN SMITHThe Penguin State of the Middle East AtlasCOMPLETELY REVISED AND UPDATED THIRD EDITION

In this essential guide to the region and its politics, Dan Smith unravels the history of the Middle East from the Ottoman Empire to the present day, highlighting key issues and mapping their global implications. This atlas looks at how the region emerged out of the history of fallen empires, how oil and outside intervention have shaped its current contours, where it stood as the wave of change broke in 2011, and the impact of ongoing violent conflict throughout the region. Includes maps, graphics, and chronologies.PENGUIN PAPERBACK • 144 PAGES • 978-0-14-312423-8 • $25.00

SEAN McMEEK INThe Ottoman EndgameWar, Revolution, and the Making of the Modern Middle East, 1908–1923Drawing from McMeekin’s years of research in the newly opened Ottoman and Russian archives, this astonishing retelling of 20th-century history from the Ottoman perspec-tive delivers profound new insights into World War I and the contemporary Middle East.“McMeekin synthesizes an impressive amount of fresh material from across Europe’s archives in this balanced and perceptive analysis.”—Dennis Showalter, Colorado College“Combining groundbreaking archival research with a genius for historical narrative…McMeekin weaves the dramatic and world shaking events of one of history’s greatest conflicts into a compelling and original story.”—Walter Russell Mead, Yale UniversityPENGUIN PRESS HARDCOVER • 576 PAGES • 978-1-59420-532-3 • $35.00

KATHER INE ZOEPFExcellent DaughtersThe Secret Lives of the Young Women Who Are Transforming the Arab WorldFor more than a decade, Zoepf has traveled throughout the Arab world, reporting on the lives of women. In this informed investigation, she brings us a new understanding of the modern Middle East as she tells the never-before-reported story of a generation of Arab women who are questioning authority, changing societies, and leading revolutions. “Explor[es] the lives, experiences, and beliefs of young Muslim women in rapidly chang-ing societies across the Middle East. The stories [Zoepf] tells are engrossing in their details and their ability to take us into a [hidden] world….They offer insights...that countless treatises on ‘the politics of Islam’ or ‘the future of the Middle East’ cannot match.”—Anne-Marie Slaughter, Director of Policy Planning, Department of StatePENGUIN PRESS HARDCOVER • 272 PAGES • 978-1-59420-388-6 • $28.00

LAURA SECORChildren of Paradise: The Struggle for the Soul of IranWith more than a decade of experience reporting on the region, Secor narrates the his-tory of Iran—the first revolutionary theocracy in modern times—as a story of individu-als caught up in the slipstream of their era, wielding powerful ideas as they wrestle with their country’s violent repression as well as its rich and often tragic history. “Anyone who wants to understand the forces shaping post-revolutionary Iran will be rewarded by this intimate and intellectually thrilling portrait….A towering accomplish-ment.”—Lawrence Wright, author of The Looming TowerRIVERHEAD HARDCOVER • 528 PAGES • 978-159448-710-1 • $30.00

ABOLQASEM FERDOWSIShahnameh: The Persian Book of KingsTRANSLATED BY DICK DAVIS FOREWORD BY AZAR NAFISI

Acclaimed translator Dick Davis has revised and expanded his translation of Ferdowsi’s masterpiece, adding more than 100 pages of newly translated text, making this the most complete English-language edition. Davis’s elegant combination of prose and verse is interspersed sparingly with clearly marked explanations to guide modern readers. “Davis [is] our pre-eminent translator from the Persian....Thanks to [his] magnificent translation, Ferdowsi and the Shahnameh live again in English.”—The Washington Post“A poet himself, Davis brings...[an] awareness of Ferdowsi’s subtle rhythms and cadences. His Shahnameh is rendered in an exquisite blend of poetry and prose, with none of the antiquated flourishes that so often mar translations.”—The New York Times Books ReviewPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 1,040 PAGES • 978-0-14-310832-0 • $30.00

MALCOLM C . LYONS, t r ans la to rTales of the Marvellous and News of the StrangeThe First English Translation of a Medieval Arab Fantasy CollectionINTRODUCTION BY ROBERT IRWIN

A great cache of ancient, magical tales, these earliest-known Arabic short stories dating from at least a millennium ago survived in a single, ragged manuscript in a library in Is-tanbul. Although some of these charming, surreal tales found their way into The Arabian Nights, most appear here for the very first time in English. “Offers a gateway to a different world of language and ideas; florid, wildly descriptive and…a powerful reminder of the human need for story.”—The Independent (UK) PENGUIN CLASSICS HARDCOVER • 496 PAGES • 978-0-14-139503-6 • $30.00

GERTRUDE BELLA Woman in Arabia: The Writings of the Queen of the DesertEDITED WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY GEORGINA HOWELL

This volume brings together Gertrude Bell’s letters, military dispatches, diary entries, and travel writings to offer an intimate look at a woman who turned her back on Victo-rian society to dedicate her life to the Arab cause, becoming the chief architect of British policy in the Middle East after World War I. Edited by the acclaimed Bell biographer Georgina Howell, author of Gertrude Bell: Queen of the Desert, Shaper of Nations, this collection reveals the key role Bell played in the creation of the Kingdom of Iraq and shows why her name and legacy are constantly invoked to explain the Middle East today.PENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 320 PAGES • 978-0-14-310737-8 • $17.00

PADRAIG O ’MALLEYThe Two-State DelusionIsrael and Palestine—A Tale of Two NarrativesA leading reconciliation expert argues that a two-state solution is no longer a viable path to peace in Israel and Palestine. Examining each issue and speaking with Palestinians, Israelis, and negotiators involved in past summits, O’Malley concludes that reaching an agreement is impractical given the staggering costs, Palestine’s political disunity, changing demographics, Israel’s shift to the right, and global warming’s effect on the water supply.“Impressive….[O’Malley] has done a tremendous amount of research about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He’s not only delved deeply into the literature; he’s also interviewed dozens of participants on both sides. The result is a book so packed with information that it will reward even the reader so dedicated that she consumes the Israel-Palestine stories buried on Page A17 of The Times.”—The New York Times Book ReviewVIKING HARDCOVER • 496 PAGES • 978-0-670-02505-3 • $30.00

TONY JUDTWhen the Facts Change: Essays, 1995–2010EDITED WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JENNIFER HOMANS

Judt’s widow and fellow historian, Jennifer Homans, gathers together important essays from the span of Judt’s career that reflect the full range of his concerns, including Europe as an idea and in reality; Israel, the Holocaust, and the Jews; American hyperpower and the world after 9/11; and issues of social justice. “Scintillating….A reminder of Judt’s clear mind and prose and…his fidelity to hard facts and to honest appraisal….No wonder this book, and Judt’s assumption of the role of po-litical critic after the Cold War, remain so relevant.”—The New York Times Book ReviewPENGUIN PAPERBACK • 400 PAGES • 978-0-14-312845-8 • $18.00

CYRUS COPELANDOff the RadarA Father’s Secret, a Mother’s Heroism, and a Son’s QuestCyrus Copeland was a young boy living in Tehran in 1979 when his father, an Ameri-can business executive, was arrested on espionage charges and tried in a Revolution-ary Court. Now, more than 30 years later, Copeland sets out to find the truth about his father’s role in the Iranian hostage crisis. Was he an intelligence operative caught red-handed, or was he innocent? Part mystery, part reportage, and part detective work, Copeland’s original family epic unfolds as a powerful mix of memoir and adventure.

EL I F SHAFAKThe Architect’s Apprentice“As she traces [her] characters’ colorful stories, Shafak unfurls what may be her most accomplished novel—and is certainly her most expansive. Her great strength lies in her ability to construct a plot that encompasses…historic developments like the Battle of Lepanto, working with a large cast of invented and real characters, from Michelangelo to a long list of viziers, mystics, and eunuchs….An impressive achievement…[and] a love poem to the cosmopolitan beauty of Istanbul.”—The New York Times Book ReviewVIKING HARDCOVER • 432 PAGES • 978-0-525-42797-1 • $27.95ALSO AVAILABLE:

The old-world, Egyptian grandmother’s bungled English, her prayers and incense, rub against her American-born, tech-savvy grandchildren’s bungled Arabic and Western music.
