Tunis — A new book retracing Tunisia's 3000 year history, provides an illustrated bilingual history of the country. The book, written by Mr Noureddine Mejdoub, a former Tunisian ambassador, is written in French and includes an English version. The book is published in Tunis by the publisher "Dar Ismailia".
Entitled "The Illustrated History of Tunisia over 3000 years", the 177 page publication contains a myriad of illustrations, drawings and photos, illustrating in style Tunisia's rich history and its protagonists.
From prehistoric Tunisia, to modern Tunisia, the book takes the reader through a journey in time. Always entertaining, the publication also offers, interesting and timely photographs of historical moments and personalities.
The book also comprises a succinct bibliography which refers readers to potential further readings on Tunisia's rich, millenary history.
Perhaps, Professor Hassine Fantar, the Holder of the Ben Ali Chair for the Dialogue of Civilisations and Religions and the author of the book's preface, best illustrates the book's cardinal virtue when he writes that "Readers of all ages and backgrounds will be in possession of a book that will initiate them to the charm of Tunisia, a haven of peace, solidarity and conviviality. This fine book also opens the way for those who might wish to learn more about the prestigious past of Mediterranean Tunisia".
