He traces this view through the writings of Homer, Nerval and Flaubert, Disraeli and Kipling, whose imaginative depictions have greatly contributed to the West's romantic and exotic picture of the Orient. Drawing on his own experiences as an Arab Palestinian living in the West, Said examines how these ideas can be a reflection of European imperialism and racism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"publisher-information\" class=\"pdp-spec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePublisher information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublisher:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"publisher\"\u003ePenguin Books Ltd\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eISBN:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"isbn\"\u003e9780141187426\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNumber of pages:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"numberOfPages\"\u003e432\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDimensions:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"height\"\u003e196\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan itemprop=\"width\"\u003e129\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan itemprop=\"depth\"\u003e27\u003c\/span\u003e mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWeight:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"weight\"\u003e316 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLanguage:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"inLanguage\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Starlight Library","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":53315620307257,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"IQD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/4624\/6457\/files\/81CGJE1QyKL._SL1500.jpg?v=1779394708","url":"https:\/\/starlightlibrary.shop\/products\/orientalism-by-edward-w-said","provider":"Starlight Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
