Detailing the life of 'the Fariyaq', the alter ego of the author, offering commentary on intellectual and social issues, it is described as "always edifying and often hilarious", "the finest, wildest, funniest and most surprising novel in Arabic", and "[an] unclassifiable book". It was originally published in 1855 in Arabic in Paris. In 2014, there was an English translation by Humphrey T. Davies published by NYU Press.[1] HistoryThe book was first published in Arabic 1855 in France. The author did not publish it in his homeland, Lebanon, probably because of the book's comments on religion.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Leg over Leg|url=http://nyupress.org/books/9781479897544/|publisher=NYU Press|accessdate=3 November 2015}} 2. ^{{cite web|last1=Creswell|first1=Robyn|title=The First Great Arabic Novel|url=http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2015/oct/08/first-great-arabic-novel/|website=New York Review of Books|accessdate=3 November 2015|date=8 Oct 2015}} External links{{Authority control}}{{1850s-novel-stub}} 2 : 1855 books|Arabic-language novels |
