S. Eliot's \u003ci\u003eThe Waste Land\u003c\/i\u003eand Walt Whitman's \u003ci\u003eSong of Myself\u003c\/i\u003e. With case studies dedicated to the Arab translators who were themselves modernist poets, including Badr Shakir al-Sayyab and Saadi Yusuf, the author brings a reading of the translations as literary works in their own right. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRevealing why the Arab modernists were drawn to these poems through situational context, Ghareeb Iskander shows that the influence exerted by the English originals stems from the creative manner in which the Arab poet-translators converted them into their own language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ghareeb Iskander\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0755639936\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780755639939\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.40d","brand":"Ghareeb Iskander","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070812090623,"sku":"9780755639939","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9e96f0bd-1f20-4d80-ae15-c1c9f1a855ce.jpg?v=1685432474","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/english-poetry-and-modern-arabic-ghareeb-iskander-9780755639939","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
