Such images lend poignancy to the suffering of the poet’s love-stricken heart, while also painting a vivid portrait of typical Bedouin life. Ibn Sbayyil (ca. 1853–1933), a town dweller from the Najd region of the Arabian Peninsula, was a key figure in the Nabati poetic tradition. His poetry, which is still recited today, broke with the artifice of the preceding generation by combining inherited idiom and original touches reflecting his environment. Translated into English for the first time by Marcel Kurpershoek, Arabian Romantic will delight readers with a poetry that is direct, fluent, and expressive, and that has entertained Arabic speakers for over a century.A bilingual Arabic-English edition.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 703gAuthor: ʿAbdallāh ibn SbayyilContributor: Marcel Kurpershoek (Edited and translated by)Genre: Poetry & DramaBook Series: Library of Arabic LiteratureTopic: Literary CriticismRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
