Does anyone read Arabic?

I am just setting up a project based on this book: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/52495

Can anyone tell me if the quotation at the beginning has been translated immediately below? (It won't let me copy and paste...)

Also, I see the chapter titles have accents over some of the vowels... how do these change pronunciation, if at all?

Hi, Lynnet. I can help.

Yes, it is. So, you can just read the English quote only.

Also, I see the chapter titles have accents over some of the vowels... how do these change pronunciation, if at all?

I think this website can help you read or know about the accents over the vowels. https://arabicpath.com/read-arabic/arabic-alphabet
