Críticas:

"The most intellectually stimulating of several Arab books of unique literary distinction in fine translations . . . Translated with uncommon intelligence . . . As important a cultural manifesto as any written today."--Edward Said, "Independent on Sunday" "The Arab world's greatest living poet has cultivated a garden of language."--"New York Times"

Reseña del editor:

Arabic poetry is the quintessennce of Arab culture. In these four essays - delivered as lectures at the College de France in 1984 - one of the foremost Arab poets reinterprets a rich and ancient heritage. He examines the oral tradition of the pre-Islamic poetry of Arabia and the relationship between Arabic poetry and the Quran, and between poetry and thought. In the final essay, he assesses the challenges of modernism and the impact of Western culture on the Arab poetic tradition.
