Masr El Arabia for Publishing and Distribution
We are Masr El Arabia for Publishing and Distribution, an Egyptian publishing house located in Cairo – Egypt. Established in 1977 with a focus on distribution and few but carefully selected titles. In 2007 we decided to shift more to publishing and started with academic books then lately we added a new line which is translated literature, we care most about the quality of the work and we managed to present many foreign authors for the first time to the Arab readers such as Goncalo Tavares, Immanuel Mifsud, Reiner Englemann, Julian Fuks, Kelly James Clark and others, also we managed to publish the Nobel laureate Svetlana Alexievich (Chernobyl Prayer) 2015, Jo Nesbo and many others during the past few years. We would like to mention that prior to the publishing house, we established Al Thaqafa Al Jadeeda Bookshop in the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi) which was one of the first book shops in the country. We participate in almost all the Arab book fairs, and we have our books distributed in every Arab country through the major bookshop chains and local distributors.

Un oso en la cama y un chacal en el horno
by Avinoam Lourie y Cissy Shapiro
Un oso en la cama y un chacal en el horno Divertidas aventuras de un zoólogo israelí especializado en la fauna silvestre Avinoam Lourie y Cissy Shapiro ?Cuántos pueden decir que han tenido un oso en la cama, que calentaron un chacal en el horno, que fueron corneados por un corzo celoso o atacados por un tigre, que han tenido monos colgados de la araña, o que han perdido una víbora en un avión? Las vivencias reconfortantes, divertidas y educativas del zoólogo israelí Avinoam Lourie con una exótica variedad de animales salvajes y también con los miembros de su familia, contadas con la calidez, el humor, el ingenio y la sabiduría que bien conocen sus asiduos lectores. Avinoam Lourie ha recibido la Medalla de Honor del Presidente de Israel, ha sido seleccionado como una de las "100 personas más importantes" de Haifa, y ha ayudado a traer a Israel varias especies en peligro de extinción. "Como alguien que ha acompañado a Avi en el terreno, mientras enseñaba a nuevas generaciones de israelíes acerca de sus ecosistemas nativos, es una alegría compartir el dramatismo, el humor y las ideas que esta fascinante colección contiene", señala Sneed Collard III, autor y editor, que ha recibido el premio del Washington Post y del Children's Book Guild a obras de noficción. "Muchos de nuestros amigos tenían perros, gatos y otras mascotas, ?pero nadie tenía un padre que trajera a casa un tigre, un oso o incluso un mono, como nosotros!", dice Dr. Barak Lourie (el hijo intermedio de Avinoam), Haifa, Israel. “Él me enseñó que los animales son como la gente: trátalos de la misma manera y bien". Resumen del estudiante de una comunicación de Avinoam a la escuela secundaria media de octavo grado de Conservación de la naturaleza y ecología de Green Bay, Wisconsin, Estados Unidos.

Itzjak Rabin, el crecimiento de un líder
by Shaul Webber
Itzjak Rabin, el crecimiento de un líder por Shaul Webber «Incluso antes del asesinato de Itzjak Rabin, siempre lo consideré un héroe enigmático», escribe el autor, Dr. Shaul Weber.El enigma se profundizó aún más tras su asesinato.Las apariciones de Rabin en los medios de comunicación y los testimonios de sus allegados reflejan una complejidad que no se puede pasar por alto.Siempre rodeado de otros, se distinguió como una persona solitaria emocionalmente distante.Rabin, un político que proyectaba su malestar con las normas políticas y un hombre íntegro y con bases morales, estaba sin embargo dispuesto a desviarse de sus ideales en aras de la seguridad nacional.A pesar de su imagen poco diplomática, se convirtió en un distinguido diplomático y en líder nacional. Rabin, que durante todos sus años de formación era retraído del punto de vista emocional, vergonzoso y brusco, exigía una perfección sin compromisos de sí mismo y de otros.Dotado de una capacidad de análisis excepcional, demostró sus cualidades de liderazgo incluso al no estar listo del todo para asumir las pesadas responsabilidades de liderazgo militar cuando fue forzado a hacerlo por circunstancias ajenas a su voluntad. En sus comienzos en el Palmaj, Rabin causó una buena impresión como alguien que exaltaba la camaradería, pero que era a la vez solitario, vergonzoso e incapaz de comunicarse.Aun cuando solía hablar en términos de «nosotros», se apartaba de los demás mediante barreras de individualismo y fastidio.Paradójicamente, aun siendo frío y analítico, tenía un temperamento irascible y era conocido por su forma de hablar brusca e incluso ofensiva.Sin embargo, en los últimos años de su vida, aprendió a expresar mejor sus sentimientos y a proyectar más calidez. El doctor Webber, como educador e historiador, da por hecho que cada persona es el producto de su infancia y de su crianza, un supuesto que brinda solo soluciones parciales al enigma de la infancia de Rabin, de su adolescencia y de su traumática y dolorosa experiencia como comandante de la brigada Harel durante la guerra de independencia de Israel en 1948.Durante toda su vida y en particular después de su muerte, se solía decir de Rabin que era la «sal de la tierra».No obstante, parece que para ganarse este noble título, uno también debe pasarla muy mal.Este libro trata de esas dificultades. Shaul Webber nació en Tel Aviv.Una vez finalizado su servicio militar, se unió al kibutz Haón, junto al lago de Tiberíades, o mar de Galilea.Al terminar la Guerra de los Seis Días, se incorporó al kibutz Merom Golán, en las Alturas del Golán, donde trabajó como educador y maestro.El autor es licenciado en filosofía y educación de la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén, tiene una maestría en educación de la Universidad de Haifa y el correspondiente doctorado de la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén.Actualmente vive en la ciudad de Ramat Gan y enseña educación e historia en la Universidad Abierta.Este es el tercer libro del doctor Webber.Su primer libro, Camisa azul sobre fondo negro, publicado en 1998, describe cómo los movimientos juveniles en Eretz Israel se vincularon con la Diáspora durante el Holocausto y después de él.Su segundo libro, La colina misteriosa, publicada en 2003, analiza la famosa batalla de la Colina de las Municiones desde su punto de vista personal como soldado que participó en esa sangrienta contienda, así como desde el punto de vista de un investigador e historiador.Su libro recientemente publicado, El espía olvidado, trata del Mayor Max Bennett, uno de los agentes secretos más controvertidos y trágicos de Israel, un brillante oficial de inteligencia involucrado imprudentemente por sus superiores en la notoriamente fracasada operación secreta en Egipto a comienzos de la década de 1950 y que terminó trágicamente sus días allí, en la celda de una prisión.

Graphic novelsMay 2017Freehand Robbery
by Lundi, Javier Ara
"Being a cartoonist is suicide these days if you have to raise a family, but what is really tragic is being the widow of a cartoonist. Robbing a bank may be your last option. Let me explain in my graphic novel how I did it." Lundi drew this work during the last years of his life, when he was already aware of his fatal illness. In order not to leave his daughter and his wife abandoned with debts and without resources, he came up with a seemingly crazy solution: robbing a bank. What was unknown until now is that Lundi had drawn this comic to explain to her daughter Elisa the reasons why he decided to rob the bank. However, the handwritten work that Elisa received when she came of age was unfinished, and the author in a posthumous note asked Javier Ara, the draftsman who was his assistant to fix his drawings for years, to finish it. Javier Ara accepts the task, but his hatred of Lundi makes him embark on a much larger undertaking: expanding the comic by unmasking Lundi and finding out whether the bank was actually robbed. This work is a longseller that has already sold out its third edition and we are preparing the fourth edition. A short animated film by Javier Ara, author of this comic Freehand Robbery, but also of Dark Investment and The Great Battle of the Gusis, has gone viral in 2022 and has tens of millions of views on social networks.More than 43 million views on TikTok:https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLQ2jHMb/On youtube it already has more than 1.5 million views:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-G2lG-o_uk&t=33sAnd the number of views is growing every day.
