Medieval Arabic Praise Poetry: Ibn Al-Rumi and the Patron's Redemption
ISBN: 9780700714902 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book gives an insight into panegyrics (madih), a genre central to understanding medieval Near Eastern Society. Poets in this multi-ethnic society, using Arabic as their written idiom, would address the majority of their verse to rulers, generals, officials, and the urban upper classes, its tone ranging from celebration to reprimand and even to threat. Stylized and artistic, making it difficult to read, and not fitting the modern self-absorbed notion of poetry, this important topic has until now largely escaped scholarly attention. The panegyric ocuvre of Ibn al-Rumi, dedicated to the...

Midnight's Diaspora: Critical Encounters with Salman Rushdie
ISBN: 9780472070480 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Almost twenty years after the Ayatollah Khomeini declared a fatwa against him, Salman Rushdie remains the most controversial and perhaps the most famous living novelist. Far more than an acclaimed author, Rushdie is a global figure whose work is read and studied by a wide variety of constituencies, many of whom are not primarily concerned with its literary significance. This important collection of essays and interviews brings together a distinguished group of critics and commentators, including Rushdie himself, to explore the political and cultural contexts of Rushdie's novels. While each of...

Jasmine and Stars: Reading More Than Lolita in Tehran
ISBN: 9780807859575 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In a direct, frank, and intimate exploration of Iranian literature and society, scholar, teacher, and poet Fatemeh Keshavarz challenges popular perceptions of Iran as a society bereft of vitality and joy. Her fresh perspective on present-day Iran provides a rare insight into this rich culture alive with artistic expression but virtually unknown to most Americans.
Keshavarz introduces readers to two modern Iranian women writers whose strong and articulate voices belie the stereotypical perception of Iranian women as voiceless victims in a country of villains.

Like Joseph in Beauty: Yemeni Vernacular Poetry and Arab-Jewish Symbiosis
ISBN: 9789004168404 / Angielski / Twarda / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Like Joseph in Beauty traces the evolution of an Arabic poetic form called 'Humayni poetry'. From Muslim mystical circles, the courts of aristocrats in Highland Yemen, and kabbalist circles of Yemenite Jews, Humayni poetry distinguishes itself with lyricism, musicality, and eroticism. It also plays a variety of code-switching linguistic games. The book addresses the connections between the Humayni poetry of Yemen and the sacred poetry of Jews from Yemen, a hitherto-neglected chapter in the history of Arabic and Jewish literatures. The book culminates with a discussion of ways in which...

ISBN: 9780802079978 / Angielski / Twarda / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Partition of India in 1947 marked the birth of two modern nation-states and the end of British colonialism in South Asia. The move towards the 'two nation solution' was accompanied by an unprecedented mass migration (over twelve million people) to and from areas that would become India and Pakistan.

Zeit und Gott: Hellenistische Zeitvorstellungen in der altarabischen Dichtung und im Koran
ISBN: 9783110200577 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 265 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In der Studie werden Zeitvorstellungen in der vorislamisch-arabischen Dichtung und im Koran behandelt und zu spaauml;tantiken Zeitvorstellungen in hellenistischer Dichtung ins Verhaltnis gesetzt. Die Analyse zeigt, dass die Zeit in der altarabischen Dichtung genauso wie in der viel fruuuml;heren griechischen Poesie als unentrinnbare Macht wahrgenommen wird. Der arabische Begriff fur unendliche Zeit, dahr, stellt sich als das arabische Pendant des griechischen Begriffs aiooacute;n dar. Im Koran wird die Macht der Zeit voouml;llig negiert und durch die absolute Macht Gottes...
