أنا وليلى
ألقى الشاعر حسن المرواني هذه القصيده اليتيمه في حفل التخرج لكلية التربيه في بغداد سنه 1978 وأهداها الى حبيبته التى احبها تسع سنوات وكان يظن أنها تحبه ..ويبدو أن المـــال أغراها...وكان كثيرا ما يسألونه ما دامت قد رفضتك فلماذا لا تبحث عن واحده أخرى ؟..وكان يجيبهم بأنه لا بأس ان يشنق مرتين..ولكنه بكل ما يجيده الاطفال من اصرار يرفض ان يحب مرتين !!

Palestine in My Camera
Well. i used to know that Palestine is about 27.000 square kilometers. But now i know that this fact is not existed any more. I have to look in another way, maybe i have to count the places we're STILL living in, or maybe i have to LOOK at the map over again. Maybe through this i can see the new palestine which became 6000 square kilometers included lots of settlements. This is the new palestine that i will look for it into the map hardly, to know if it is still existed or not.

Samir Amin
Samir Amin:
Samir Amin was born in Cairo, the son of an Egyptian father and a French mother (both medical doctors). He spent his childhood and youth in Port Said; there he attended a French High School, leaving in 1947 with a Baccalauréat. From 1947 to 1957 he studied in Paris, gaining a diploma in political science (1952) before graduating in statistics (1956) and economics (1957). In his autobiography Itinéraire intellectuel (1990) he wrote that in order to spend substantial time in "militant action" he could devote only a minimum of work preparing for university exams.
Arriving in Paris, Amin joined the French Communist Party (PCF), but he later distanced himself from Soviet Marxism and associated for some time with Maoist circles. He also published with other students a magazine, Étudiants Anticolonialistes. In 1957 he presented his thesis, supervised by François Perroux among others, originally titled The origins of underdevelopment - capitalist accumulation on a world scale but retitled The structural effects of the international integration of precapitalist economies. A theoretical study of the mechanism which creates so-called underdeveloped economies.
After finishing his thesis, Amin went back to Cairo, where he was from 1957 to 1960 research officer at the government "Institution for Economic Management". Subsequently Amin left Cairo, to become advisor in the Ministry of Planning in Bamako (Mali) from 1960 to 1963. In 1963 he was offered a fellowship at the Institut Africain de Développement Économique et de Planification (IDEP). Until 1970 he worked there as well as being a professor at the university of Poitiers, Dakar and Paris (of Paris VIII, Vincennes). In 1970 he became director of the IDEP, which he managed until 1980. In 1980 Amin left the IDEP and became a director of the Third World Forum in Dakar.

Gustave Flaubert
Gustave Flaubert :
was a French writer who is counted among the greatest Western novelists. He is known especially for his first published novel, Madame Bovary (1857), and for his scrupulous devotion to his art and style.
Major works:
- Mémoires d’un fou (1838) (tr. Memoirs of a Madman)
- Madame Bovary (1857)
- Salammbô (1862)
- L'Éducation sentimentale (1869) (tr. Sentimental Education)
- La Tentation de Saint Antoine (1874) (tr. The Temptation of Saint Anthony)
- Trois contes (1877) (tr. Three Tales) (More short stories published in "Early Writings": ISBN 0-8032-1982-2)
- Bouvard et Pécuchet (1881, posthumously published)
- Dictionnaire des idées reçues (1911, posthumously published, tr. Dictionary of Received Ideas)
- November (written, 1842)
- A simple heart
- Herodias
Madame Bovary is Gustave Flaubert's first novel and considered his masterpiece. The story focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. Though the basic plot is rather simple, even archetypal, the novel's true art lies in its details and hidden patterns. Flaubert was notoriously a perfectionist about his writing and claimed always to be searching for le mot juste ("the right word").
The novel was attacked for obscenity by public prosecutors when it was first serialized in La Revue de Paris between October 1, 1856 and December 15, 1856, resulting in a trial in January 1857 that made the story notorious. After the acquittal on February 7, 1857, it became a bestseller when it was published as a book in April 1857, and now stands virtually unchallenged not only as a seminal work of Realism, but as one of the most influential novels ever written.

Naji Al Ali
Naji Al Ali
Born in the Galilee, al-Ali fled with his family to southern Lebanon during the ARAB-ISRAELI WAR OF 1948 and spent his youth in the Ayn al-Hilwa refugee camp. He began drawing cartoons on the walls of Lebanese prisons during the late 1950s and was later encouraged to publish his cartoons by the famous Palestinian writer GHASSAN KANAFANI.
Al-Ali later moved to Kuwait in the early 1960s. Returning to Lebanon in 1971, al-Ali served on the editorial board of the prominent Lebanese newspaper al-Safir and also contributed cartoons to other prominent Arab newspapers.
Al-Ali's cartoons were often biting commentaries on life in the Middle East. Each cartoon featured a young boy, Hanzala, as spectator. Fiercely independent, al-Ali sought to defend what he believed was the common Arab man and woman and alienated a host of regimes and political movements in the process.
Al-Ali left Lebanon in 1983 for Kuwait out of fear for his life; however, he was expelled in 1985 under pressure from neighboring Saudi Arabia and moved to London. He was shot by an unknown assailant on July 22, 1987, and died on August 30 of the same year.
Al-Ali was posthumously awarded the International Federation of Newspaper Publishers' Golden Pen Award in 1988 to recognize his contributions to freedom of expression.Michael R. Fischbach
