The Arabic-language magazine al-Adab wa-l-Fann ( Arabic الأدب والفن, DMG al-Adab wa-l-Fann 'literature and art') was published in London from 1943 to 1945 . The publisher was the British publisher "Hodder & Stoughton", which was founded in 1868 and still exists today.
The magazine was aimed at an Arabic-speaking readership with the aim of providing them with comprehensive information on literary and artistic topics of the time. The main concern of the magazine was not only to provide information about contemporary British and Arabic literature and art, but to encourage readers to exchange views through letters to the editor. In the “Literature Exchange” section, selected British and Arabic prose was published with a call to submit a corresponding Arabic or English translation, which was then also published.
In addition to portraits of well-known contemporary British writers, such as John Masefield and Walter Whitman , selected scientific treatises, poems and extracts from novels by well-known international authors of the time were published. Numerous articles on cultural and scientific achievements and institutions, such as the typewriter , the British railroad , well-known libraries and universities in England, as well as texts on contemporary music, art and philosophy were included.
The magazine was also funded by numerous advertisements for British products and brands, which were generously distributed in each issue.
