Two translated books from English have been published by faculty members at the College of Education - Al-Qurna, University of Basrah. The works were completed by Assistant Lecturer Zain Al-Abidin Salem Mardan, Assistant Lecturer Batool Abdul-Muhsin Miri, and Assistant Lecturer Zaid Nouri Tahir, in cooperation with the Department of Arabic Language at the college. The books are titled "Aesop's Fables" and "Between the Lines of Oscar Wilde."
