. أثَّرت الحضارة العربية في الحضارة الأوروبية بشكل كبير؛ حيث شمل تأثيرها جميع المجالات الروحية والمادية، فكانت أرض العرب مهدًا للرسالات السماوية الثلاث، وأيضًا حازت قصب السبق في تعليم العالم التدوين والصناعات السلمية والحربية، وعلوم الكيمياء والميكانيكا والفيزياء، كما قدمت للعالم الكثير في مجالات الطب؛ فكانت كُتب «الرازي» و«ابن سينا» هي المراجع المعتمدة لفترة طويلة بجامعات أوروبا. وامتدَّ التأثير العربي فشمل مجالات الفن والعمارة والموسيقى، كما امتدَّ إلى الأدب؛ فنجد أن القصة الأوروبية تأثرت بفنون المقامة العربية؛ لذلك يُقرر العقاد في هذا الكتاب أن أثر أوروبا الحديثة في النهضة العربية هو نوع من سداد الديون، من حضارة استفادت الكثير، إلى حضارة أنارت العالمَ وقتَ أن سادتْه الظلماتُ، مُختتمًا كتابه بالآية البليغة: «وتلك الأيام نُداولها بين الناس
About the book (In Stories of Peoples)
The book (On Peoples’ Stories) aimed to focus on popular literature in general, and the popular tale in particular, because of its close connection to the literature of the nation and society itself, and a representation of people’s lives and their victories over the pressures of life, and their attempts to achieve their hopes and ambitions through it.
The book includes twenty-five diverse articles in the same field. Each article specializes in a special topic of folk literature or the folk tale and studies it in some detail, such as talking about the narrator of the folk tale and its recipients, and some of its characters who are considered the backbone of every folk tale, such as the princess, the hero, the aggressor, or The evil one, as well as diving into the kingdoms of the jinn and mixing them with the worlds of humans.

Since the revolution that overthrew the Shah in 1979, Iran has lived in a state of constant turmoil and major social and political fluctuations. From there, Delphine Menoui, a French journalist of Iranian origin, writes about her experience living in Iran for ten years, including one of the most ambiguous periods in Iranian history, the Green Movement.
The hero of the novel “The Philosopher’s Dance” is a controversial strategic thinker. He worked and still is an advisor to an Arab leader. He took up his job after leaving Palestine on the run after he was accused of dealing with the enemy during wartime, namely Hezbollah.
This thinker or philosopher practiced political dancing. He theorizes democracy and secularism while working for a non-democratic, non-secular leader who supports extremism. He also believes in Arab nationalism and does not recognize Palestinian nationalism. He engages in a sexual relationship with his Israeli colleague (Tzipora), then continues the matter and justifies his actions. He describes it as resistance. He claims his love for his wife, Layal, and at the same time he lives with a Moroccan woman of Jewish origin during his stay in Britain. This woman plays a major role in the novel as a visual artist and has the ability to listen and remain silent.
The philosopher moves to reside in Britain and discovers an attempt to assassinate him by a Druze soldier who was working in the Israeli army. Here the novel sheds light on the reality of the Druze, accusing them and trying to do justice to them at the same time. The credit for thwarting the assassination goes to a man from southern Lebanon who runs a restaurant in London.
The philosopher receives a letter from a deported Palestinian who took refuge in Lebanon, asking him at the end: How do you feel in your homeland? The message affects him greatly, and he searches for the answer whenever he has the opportunity, and there are many opportunities, but he fails to answer. The question forms a basic pillar of the novel as well.
Although the novel is realistic, it does not follow an ascending ladder of events, and what lies within it is much greater than the events mentioned. The novel, as much as it is a novel of events and actions, is an intellectual novel, and here lies the difficulty of talking about it.
