The Sheikh Zayed Book Award has announced its long-list of entries contesting its Literary and Art Criticism and Translation categories.
Fifteen books were filtered under both categories after the award’s reading panels concluded their work.
The Literary and Art Criticism long-list includes seven books with topics ranging from studies in poetry to scholarly reports in literature, narration and Arabic discourse.
The works came mostly from Morocco with the other two from Iraq and Egypt.
The eight books in the Translation category included six translations to Arabic from English, French and Spanish; the other two are works translated from Arabic into Italian and Japanese.
