As a pioneer of the French New Wave; Jacques Rivette was one of a group of directors who permanently altered the worlds perception of cinema by taking the camera out of the studios and into the streets. His films; including Paris nous appartient; Out 1: Noli me tangere; Ceacute;line et Julie vont en bateau--Phantom Ladies Over Paris; La belle noiseuse; Secret deacute;fense; and Va savoir are extraordinary combinations of intellectual depth; playfulness; and sensuous beauty.

BuckleyThis book teaches the beginner exactly how to write all forms of each letter; carefully explaining the contexts in which the various forms occur. While the main discussion centers on standard naskh style; a wide variety of other script styles are also illustrated. The sometimes complicated rules are explained clearly. Copious examples from the Quran are correctly transcribed to show the pronunciation; and a certain amount of grammar is also included. Primarily intended for teaching a person to read the Quran; but also useful for a student of modern Arabic who would like clear guidance read and write the letters of the alphabet. Much better graphic quality (i.e. easier to read the letters and accents or diacritics) than in many introductory books on Arabic. Includes appendix on the Persian and Urdu variants of the script.1 of 3 people found the following review helpful. note to shoppers RE the existence of 2 editions NOT bindingsBy Vegetarian PacifistName of author of book: Syed Barakat AhmadThe softcover (a.k.a. trade paper binding)ISBN: 0-7007-1069-8is based on a 1985 edition.The copyright page states"This Edition first published by Curzon Press in 1985First Published in paperback 1999 byCurzon Press"...N.B.: According to the Product Detailsfor the Hardcover (a.k.a. trade cloth binding)ISBN: 0-7007-0182-6the Hardcover one has an APPARENTLY more recent date:"Revised edition (March 1; 1986)".Something might be fishy though:the four-digit SKU 0182 for the "1986" is less/earlier thanthe four-digit SKU 1069 for the "1985".Perhaps that can be explained by considering that thetrade paper was released in 1999 (later); nevertheless; thetrade PAPER is supposedly based on a previous 1985 edition...Also; for what its worth; do note that thetrade PAPER has 220 pages (vintage ?1985?); whereas thetrade CLOTH has 184 pages (vintage ?1986?); according to .Seems illogical that a revised edition should have LESS pages...Comments and/or feedback most welcome.
