Zusammenfassung: | An anthology of Arabic literature, ancient and modern, in both prose and verseIntroducing readers to the extremely rich tradition of Arabic literature, this Anthology covers some of its major themes and concerns across the centuries, from its early beginnings to modern times. The texts chosen are a 'library of personal preferences' of a scholar who has spent half a century or more in the company of Arabic books, marking then translating those passages that seemed to him to capture some of its most memorable moments.Reflecting the great diversity and unpredictability of Arabic literature as the carrier of a major world culture, both pre-modern and modern, the Anthology is divided thematically to highlight modern issues such as love, religion, the human self, human rights, freedom of expression, the environment, violence, secular thought and feminism. The short, easy-to-read texts are accessible to non-specialists, providing an ideal entry point to this extraordinary literature.Key FeaturesA wide thematic and chronological spread including both verse and proseNewly translated texts on a range of subjects such as the occult sciences, heresy, psychological reflections, literary theory, sexual etiquette, man and nature, geographical observations and reflections on world historyIncludes extracts from philosophers, theologians and scientistsMarginal glosses explain key terms, figures and momentsRead the introduction and first few extracts for free (pdf) |

spelling | Khalidi, Tarif Verfasser aut An Anthology of Arabic Literature From the Classical to the Modern Tarif Khalidi Edinburgh Edinburgh University Press [2022] © 2016 1 Online-Ressource (192 pages) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 02. Mrz 2022) An anthology of Arabic literature, ancient and modern, in both prose and verseIntroducing readers to the extremely rich tradition of Arabic literature, this Anthology covers some of its major themes and concerns across the centuries, from its early beginnings to modern times. The texts chosen are a 'library of personal preferences' of a scholar who has spent half a century or more in the company of Arabic books, marking then translating those passages that seemed to him to capture some of its most memorable moments.Reflecting the great diversity and unpredictability of Arabic literature as the carrier of a major world culture, both pre-modern and modern, the Anthology is divided thematically to highlight modern issues such as love, religion, the human self, human rights, freedom of expression, the environment, violence, secular thought and feminism. The short, easy-to-read texts are accessible to non-specialists, providing an ideal entry point to this extraordinary literature.Key FeaturesA wide thematic and chronological spread including both verse and proseNewly translated texts on a range of subjects such as the occult sciences, heresy, psychological reflections, literary theory, sexual etiquette, man and nature, geographical observations and reflections on world historyIncludes extracts from philosophers, theologians and scientistsMarginal glosses explain key terms, figures and momentsRead the introduction and first few extracts for free (pdf) In English Islamic Studies LITERARY COLLECTIONS / Middle Eastern bisacsh Arabic literature Translations into English Abi Rabiʿa, ʿUmar ibn Sonstige oth Abuʾl Fida,, Sonstige oth Al-Abi,, Sonstige oth Al-Babi,, Sonstige oth Al-Buhturi,, Sonstige oth Al-Hutayʾah,, Sonstige oth Al-Marzubani,, Sonstige oth Al-Sharishi,, Sonstige oth Al-Subki,, Sonstige oth Al-Zajjaji,, Sonstige oth Amin, Ahmad Sonstige oth Baqaʾ al-Rundi, Abuʾl Sonstige oth Burd, Bashshar ibn Sonstige oth Farabi,, Sonstige oth Faris al-Shidyaq, Ahmad Sonstige oth Firas al-Hamdani, Abu Sonstige oth Fuʾad Najm, Ahmad Sonstige oth Ghazali,, Sonstige oth Haidar, Rustum Sonstige oth Hamdun, Ibn Sonstige oth Hasan al-Anbari, AbuʾlXX4ctbXX4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb Sonstige oth Hayyan al-Tawhidi, AbuXX4ctbXX4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb Sonstige oth Hazm, IbnXX4ctbXX4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb Sonstige oth Husayn al-Haruni al-Zaydi, AbuʾlXX4ctbXX4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb Sonstige oth https://doi.org/10.1515/9781474410809 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
