Abstract

The book is similar to an encyclopaedic dictionary in its form. However, the articles were not selected according to a strict system, but rather associate with the tide of the cultural life of Middle Eastern countries, which is a spontaneous process raising one problem after another and providing different solutions. The author tried to rely on this tide, this is why the scope of the issues presented to the reader is dissimilar, and their presence in the modern culture is changeable — topical issues of certain periods are replaced by others, caused by new needs; some of them are steady and dominant, the others are fleeting; yet all of them form the body of the cultural life, hence their importance both for history and today.
