Arabic Books in English?

[StupidJourney 0]

Hey everyone.

I was wondering if anyone knew a good place/website to buy English translations of Arabic books? Specifically I'm looking for a book by Mohammed Choukri. If anyone has an insight, let me know!

Thanks!

Which title are you trying to find?

It's A Time of Errors. I was able to find other titles, For Bread Alone, and Streetwise, but not this one.

This is a difficult find. If you have a contact in Casa and/or Marrakech, you may want to have them check bookstores in tourist areas of Marrakech and the bookstores in the Casa airport. It will be in tourist areas that an English translation will be most likely found. Insha'allah, you are successful!

If I recall, Streetwise and A Time of Errors are the same book. The book was published in Morocco under Zaman Al-Akhtaa (Time of Errors) but is the same book as Al-Shouttar (Streetwise).

It is the same, here is the full titleL

Zaman Al-Akhtaâ aw Al-Shouttar (Time of Mistakes or the streetwise, 1992)

I meant to add, so, when you go to Amazon, if you buy Streetwise, you are buying the right book.
