A very RARE and uncommon and interesting book..."The Luzumiyat of Abu'l-ala" translated for the first time in English by Ameen Rihani. Bound in publisher's original red cloth ornately stamped in gilt. Cloth lightly soiled, darkened at the spine. Gilt dulled at spine and edges. Rihani is often hailed as the founding father of Arab-American literature. Beautiful 1920 second edition. The Luzumiyat of Abu'l-Ala is a collection of philosophical and satirical poems written by the renowned Arab poet Abu al-Ala al-Maarri. This book, written in the 11th century, explores themes of morality, religion, and the human condition through the lens of al-Maarri's sharp wit and intellectual prowess. The poems are rich in metaphor and allegory, drawing on classical Arabic poetic forms to convey complex ideas in a lyrical and engaging manner. The Luzumiyat is a seminal work in Arabic literature, showcasing al-Maarri's unique blend of skepticism and humanism. Abu al-Ala al-Maarri was a blind Syrian philosopher, poet, and freethinker known for his radical ideas and unconventional lifestyle. His works often challenged societal norms and criticized organized religion, making him a controversial figure in his time. The Luzumiyat is a reflection of al-Maarri's progressive beliefs and his commitment to intellectual freedom and skepticism. I highly recommend The Luzumiyat of Abu'l-Ala to readers interested in Arabic poetry, philosophy, and intellectual history. This book offers a fascinating insight into the mind of a visionary poet who dared to question the foundations of his society and search for deeper truths in the complexities of human existence.
Perfect Christmas gift!!!

Molti problemi causa SDA, un non-corriere che non consegna e mente: ma il venditore è stato molto attivo e disponibile e alla fine il libro mi è arrivato con un diverso corriere. Libro molto bello.
