Sharjah Ruler’s works create youth frenzy at Abu Dhabi Book Fair

The book "Narrative of the Self" has received significant and unprecedented popularity among readers from diverse cultural backgrounds. It has also attracted the attention of foreign publishers, leading to its translation into more than 12 languages such as English, French, Russian, Spanish, German, Chinese, Hindi, Malayalam, Urdu, Portuguese, Turkish, and Italian. Additionally, the original Arabic edition has been reprinted more than seven times, and a special edition was published in collaboration with Dar Al-Shorouk in Egypt.

Today, we witness the release of the new edition of the book translated into the Korean language, translated by Dr. Park Jae Won, the Director of the Middle East Studies Institute at Seoul National University in South Korea and former head of the Arabic Language Department at the university.

Al-Qasimi Publications has accomplished numerous translations of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi's works in collaboration with over twenty publishers and printers in several countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and India.

In "Narrative of the Self," His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi speaks about himself as an ambitious young man with all the dreams, adventures, frustrations, and aspirations that the word "youth" carries. He does not embellish or flatter, even though the power of the pen is in his hands. However, the courage to talk about the life he has lived as it is makes the self-narrative closer to the reader's emotions, granting the book respect, appreciation, and a significant position, with all the feelings, introspections, honesty, transparency, and revelations it holds in its presentation.

The "Al-Qasimi Publications" pavilion at the 32nd edition of the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair, which recently concluded, witnessed a remarkable turnout from the Emirati and Arab youth to acquire the works of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, especially the biographies, novels, and history books. The books "Narrative of the Self" and "Conversations of Memory," with their three parts, as well as the two books "History of the Imams of Al-Busa'idi in Oman 1749-1856" and "History of the Al-Ya'ariba in Oman 1623-1747," and the novel "Bibi Fatima and the King's Sons" have received great demand from the young generation eager to possess them.
