Middle Eastern Dialogues: Tribulations of a Would-Be King (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781546286516)

Appreciated by the Arab speaking world, kept as a treasure by those who value beauty, this poet's words are worthy of being remembered. Powerfully conveying a revelatory image, skillfully reflecting his world, they carry a timelessness which has endured through the years. Mentioning places, he freezes a landscape, depicting his natural surrounding conditions, sand mingled rocks and storms forming 'Suyoul', tumult-wreaking floods. Ostriches and lions have fair share in his eloquent description. His poems, comparable to other contemporaries and subsequent Shuara, mirror life in sixth century Arabian Peninsula. It is a preservation, a hint on the moeurs and customs of the poets era the preislamic times. Against a backdrop of camels, steeds, palm trees and colocynth, Imrulqais gives us his immortal verses, perpetual, spirited, masterly, ably provoking our imagination. Outstanding, Eternally sublime like the lustre of precious gems.
