316 S., Lit.verz. Reg. Kart. This book is about relations between literature, society and politics in the Arab world. It is an attempt to come to terms with the changing conceptualizations of the political in Arabic literature in recent modern history. It examines historical and contemporary conceptions of literary commitment (iltizam) and how notions of writing with a cause have been shaped, contested, re-actualized since the 1940s until today. Against the backdrop of the current social and political transformations in the Arab world, questions on the role of the arts, specifically literature and its politics, arise with immediacy and require profound reflection and analysis. The chapters reexamine critically both current and historical notions of the political in modern Arabic literature as well as the legacy of iltizam as a term and an agenda. Literary commitment is understood here not just solely as a (completed) period in Arabic literary history but also as a vivid, changing and continuing idea that questions the role of literature and the author in and for a society.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. First edition thus; 1958 at copyright page by The Philosophical Library. Grey boards, black spine titles, lt. shelf wear. Pages fine. Dj moderate wear, rub, discoloration; clipped, protected in new clear sleeve. Classic Arabian ornately patterned cover art and titles in orange and black. Best know for "The Prophet", this collection of mystical poetry is unique among Gibran's compositions. His first and last major work in verse. Presented here in Dr. George Kheirallah's subtle and sensitive translation. He calls it "the unconscious biography of Gibran." Kheirallah also contributes a biographical introduction revealing some little-known facts of the poet's life, and provides the Western reader with some notion of how he is regarded in his native Syria. No Gibran work would be complete without a selection of his poetically mystical drawings reproduced here especially for this edition. Gibran s reflections on the wistful beauty, lofty majesty, and abiding peace of Eastern wisdom revolutionized Arab literature. This collection of dramatic poems uses the dialogue between age and youth as a platform to discuss deep subjects such as freedom, death, and the eternal soul. From "Of Life and Sorrow" to "Of Science and Knowledge," Gibran s vision transcends boundaries of religion and culture, finding beauty and wisdom in the universal struggles of everyday life. 74 pages. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Book.
