Winner of the PEN USA Literary Award for Translation Mahmoud Darwish was that rare literary phenomenon: a poet both acclaimed by critics as one of the most important poets in the Arab world and beloved by his readers. His language--lyrical and tender--helped to transform modern Arabic poetry into a living metaphor for the universal experiences of exile, loss, and identity. The poems in this collection, constructed from the cadence and imagery of the Palestinian struggle, shift between the most intimate individual experience and the burdens of history and collective...

Ouseley.

The second book of poems by the Afghan author and artist Yusuf 'Yoshi' Misdaq, featuring a foreword from prominent Rumi translator Raficq Abdulla, MBE. Filled with simple profound metaphor poems, and some astounding (and shocking) prose pieces, 'Into Solidity' deals with, "an icy estrangement and detachment from this world, leading to the dissolution of the morale- and its subsequent attempts at reformation," and is described right at the outset as being suitable for those considering suicide.

The Diwans of 'Abid Ibn Al-Abras of Asad and 'Amir Ibn At-Tufail of 'Amir Ibn Sa'sa'ah
ISBN: 9780906094136 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Kitab Al-Tashbihat of Ibn ABI 'Aun: The Book of Similes
ISBN: 9780718902193 / Angielski / Twarda / 508 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The author came from a family of secretaries, poets and men of letters resident in Iraq and involved in the service of the Abbasid Caliphate at Baghdad in the 9th and 10th centuries. He himself was hanged for heresy in AD934. His Book of Similes, however, is not a controversial work: it is a compilation of similes used by Arabic poets, arranged partly by topic and partly by author. It is the only work of the kind from its period and with its interest in originality and creative imagination, contributed something new to the development of Arab literacy criticism.

Arabic and Hebrew Love Poems in Al-Andalus
ISBN: 9780415824163 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Arabic and Hebrew Love Poems in al-Andalus investigates a largely overlooked subset of Muslim and Jewish love poetry in medieval Spain: hetero- and homo-erotic love poems written by Muslim and Jewish religious scholars, in which the lover and his sensual experience of the beloved are compared to scriptural characters and storylines. This book examines the ways in which the scriptural referents fit in with, or differ from, the traditional Andalusian poetic conventions. The study then proceeds to compare the scriptural stories and characters as presented in the poems with their scriptural...

Spiritual Verses
ISBN: 9780140447910 / Angielski / Miękka / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The spiritual masterpiece of the Persian Sufi tradition in a brilliant new translation
The longest single-authored "mystical" poem ever written, the Masnavi-ye Ma'navi, or "spiritual couplets," is the masterpiece of the Persian Sufi tradition. Its author, Jalaloddin Rumi, was a poet and mystic of the highest attainment, but he was first and foremost a spiritual teacher, and his Masnavi is a ladder to the spiritual world, leading the reader to the ultimate goal of the Sufi path-union with God. Alan Williams's translation into blank verse beautifully conveys the poetry... The spiritual masterpiece of the Persian Sufi tradition in a brilliant new translation
