عبر الثقافة و الهوية : دراسة ل "تخليص الإبريز في تلخيص باريز" لرفاعة الطهطاوي

Abstract EN

Takhlis al-Ibriz fi Talkhis Baris is considered as one of the pioneering books, which address the issue of the relationship with the West : its components and nature.

It has appeared, at a critical stage of modern Arab history.

Two concepts are dominating the author : his knowledge of his ancient Arabic self, and his feeling - at the same time- of the other's overwhelming power.

The book describes Paris: population, life, culture, customs, and traditions.

It also describes the author admiration of the new civilization, which he saw there.
