Persian Words of Wisdom: Sayings and Proverbs by Masters of Persian Poetry
ISBN: 9781627340540 / Angielski / Twarda / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What is the secret of happiness? What is the nature of love? What makes us good hosts or good guests? What traits should we seek out in friends and seek to embody as friends ourselves? How should we approach the sensual beauties of this world- when do they induce us to error and when are they signs of God? The poets and bards of many traditions have long sought answers to such questions, but perhaps no culture has taken up this challenge with more passionate urgency than that of Persia, from the ninth century AD to modern-day Iran. These eleven centuries of poetic tradition include poets who...

Rumi: A New Translation of Selected Poems
ISBN: 9781628726978 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Now in paperback, a new translation of the Sufi mystic's verse, hailed as "authentic" and "exquisite." Championed by icons of American pop culture such as Madonna, Donna Karan, and Deepak Chopra, Rumi has won such a following in this country that he was once proclaimed our bestselling poet. But translations that have popularized the work of this thirteenth-century Sufi mystic have also strayed from its essence. In this fresh translation from the Persian, Farrukh Dhondy seeks to recover both the lyrical beauty and the spiritual essence of the original verse. In poems of love and...

Portrait of the Alcoholic
ISBN: 9781943977277 / Angielski / Miękka / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Was it Jung who speculated that alcoholism might be an attempt at a material solution for a spiritual problem? Kaveh Akbar seems able to contain both--he's a demotic, as well as a spiritual, poet (the only type of either I trust). Each word in this little book might rise up from somewhere deep in the earth, but they turn into stars." - Nick Flynn "In Islam prayer is not transactional, poetry is not divorced from the quotidian and portraiture is embraced only in the abstract. And yet here in Kaveh Akbar's book, entreaty is earnest, aimed at the human and particular more often than...

Contemporary Ghazals: (An Introductory Collection)
ISBN: 9781544030982 / Angielski / Miękka / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Canada into which Contemporary Ghazals No. 1 was published in the summer of 2003 was not exactly a hospitable one. The Canadian literary scene of the day was simply out of sync with editor R. W. Watkins's higher technical standards and international poetic perspective. Too formal and intellectual for the artsy 'hipster' division of Generation X (represented by such publications as Broken Pencil and This Magazine); too exotic and 'indie' for the academics and writers' organisations (e.g., The League of Canadian Poets), who-in the words of Watkins--merely take solace in each other's...

A master of satire known for his ribald humor, self-deprecation, and invective verse (hija), Hmedan was acerbic in his criticisms of society and its morals, voiced in in a poetic idiom that is widely referred to as "Nabati," here a mix of Najdi vernacular and archaic vocabulary and images dating back to the origins of Arabic poetry. In Arabian Satire, Hmedan is mostly concerned with worldly...
