An Abstract for "Nights of Musk" Book

Haggag Hassan Oddoul in his book "Nights of Musk" talks about the old Nubian's life and their heritage in which its affects their rest of life. "This collection of short stories brings to life the tragic demise of traditional Nubian life and culture." Haggag Oddoul's work, as well as documenting the personal tragedy of individuals caught up in massive social transformation, also casts a nostalgic light on the heritage and way of life of the Nubians: their rhythmic dancing, their beautiful women, the lively humor of their elders, and the enormous centrality of their traditions and the spirits with which they shared the environment.

Two stories in this collection, "Zeinab Uburty" and "Nights of Musk," offer a bucolic and dream-like insight into the world that has disappeared forever under the water behind the dam. Meanwhile, two other stories, "Adila, Grandmother" and "The River People," document the departure of the men, while the women are left behind to go fallow, and the second and third generations born in the cities of the north have only their grandmother's tales and her pidgin Arabic to remind them of their heritage.

History of Literature

The history of literature is the historical development of writing in either prose or poetry which attempts to provide entertainment, enlightenment, to the reader/hearer/observer, as well as the development of the literary techniques used in the communication of these pieces.

Literature and writing, though obviously connected, are not synonymous. The very first writings from ancient Sumer by any reasonable definition do not constitute literature the same is true of some of the early Egyptian hieroglyphics or the thousands of logs from ancient Chinese regimes. Scholars have always disagreed concerning when written record-keeping became more like "literature" than anything else; the definition is largely subjective.
