Popular reading of history achieves more understanding and awareness of the facts of the history of any nation. This is what is provided in the rare and unknown popular biography of the king al-Badrnār Ibn-an-Nahrwān, whose historical events revolve around the conversion of the Turkish tribes from paganism to Islam and their relations with the neighboring and contemporary powers such as the Mongols, including the Khata tribe or the "Qara Khitai". The ambitions of their kings had a great impact on changing the course of several historical events in the Islamic East in the Abbasid era in 536 AH/1141 AD through their fighting several battles with their competitors, most notably the Seljuks, then their kings' reliance on a number of Arab figures and their trust in them and their opinions and advice regarding the administration of the lands of the Turks to achieve justice and ensure their interests, security and stability, such as the Hilali tribe and their heroes. The story was inspired by the ancient conflict between Arab, Turkish and Persian nationalisms, with its historical bitterness that was rooted in the narrators' souls and inflamed their imagination to draw the image of the legendary hero Nahrawan, who settles the calamities and defeats the camp of evil and idols, and whose ultimate goal is to spread justice with the help of the Arab heroes from the Arab Hilali tribe, summoning events and characters from the Quranic stories and from the biography of Antarah and Saif bin Dhi Yazan.

A Performance of the Baja Ni Funeral Cycle in Tireli, Mali
Though the Dogon are well-described, their culture still holds surprises. One of these is the cycle of songs called baja ni, which is at the heart of their funerary rites.

This book gives the full text of one performance of this legacy. The lyrics cover a range of topics, from comments on historical events to philosophical musings about life and death, and from remembering the departed to celebrating the joys of being alive.
