A classic is a book which with each rereading offers
as much of a sense of discovery as the first reading
– Italo Calvino

Edward Said’s Orientalism was published by Routledge and Kegan Paul in 1988^[1]. Reading the work 40 years on, one is struck by its undiminished freshness and ongoing significance, and by the conviction that here, to borrow Italo Calvino’s definition^[2], is a classic of our times.
