{"product_id":"hammond-marle-arabic-poems-9780375712432","title":"Arabic Poems","description":"A bilingual anthology of poems from the sixth century to the present, Arabic Poems is a one-of-a-kind showcase of a fascinating literary tradition. The Arabic poetic legacy is as vast as it is deep, spanning a period of fifteen centuries in regions from Morocco to Iraq. Themes of love, nature, religion, and politics recur in works drawn from the pre-Islamic oral tradition through poems anticipating the recent Arab Spring. Editor Marlé Hammond has selected more than fifty poems reflecting desire and longing of various kinds: for the beloved, for the divine, for the homeland, and for change and renewal. Poets include the legendary pre-Islamic warrior 'Antara, medieval Andalusian poet Ibn Zaydun, the mystical poet Rabi'a al-'Adawiyya, and the influential Egyptian Romantic Ahmad Zaki Abu Shadi. Here too are literary giants of the past century: Khalil Jibran, author of the best-selling The Prophet; popular Syrian poet Nizar Qabbani; Palestinian feminist Fadwa Tuqan; Mahmoud Darwish, bard of occupation and exile; acclaimed iconoclast Adonis; and more. In their evocations of heroism, nostalgia, mysticism, grief, and passion, the poems gathered here transcend the limitations of time and place.","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53195675566422,"sku":"9780375712432-G","price":15.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53365082456406,"sku":"9780375712432-V","price":13.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780375712432_1.jpg?v=1777915913","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/hammond-marle-arabic-poems-9780375712432","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
