Arabic section.. really?!!

0

As I was stroling through Virgin the other day at Villagio, I walked towards the so clamied "Arabic" section in the books area.

I was surprised to see that the "Arabic" section held books under the names of: Daniel Steal, Simone de Bofore and William Fokner. Now correct me if I'm wrong but these names don't sound arabic to me?!!..

I do understand having forgien books translated into Arabic but these were the only books displayed there. I seriously feel sad to see that amazing Arabic writers like: Ehsan Abdelgdoss, Yousif Al Sebai and Najeeb Mahfoz not avaliable at the market and at such popular places as Virgin.

I felt like I needed to address this promblem that is occuring not only at Virgin stores but at many places in Doha.
