He traces this view through the writings of Homer, Nerval and Flaubert, Disraeli and Kipling, whose imaginative depictions have greatly contributed to the West's romantic and exotic picture of the Orient. Drawing on his own experiences as an Arab Palestinian living in the West, Said examines how these ideas can be a reflection of European imperialism and racism.\u003cbr\u003e\n'Beautifully patterned and passionately argued'\u003cbr\u003e\nNew Statesman\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'Very exciting ... his case is not merely persuasive, but conclusive'\u003cbr\u003e\nJohn Leonard, New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780141187426\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.9 x 5.1 x 1.3 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50118305317168,"sku":"Trans_9780141187426","price":525.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81CGJE1QyKL.jpg?v=1757155675","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/orientalism","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
