Opis

Spanning the fifth century to the sixteenth, and ranging from Afghanistan to Spain, this collection provides an insight into the vitality of Classical Arabic literature. It explores such traditional themes as lovesick yearning and fated doom, and considers subjects as the etiquette of falling in love with slave-girls and the terrors of the sea.
