{"product_id":"poems-of-wine-revelry-colville-9781138994997","title":"Poems Of Wine \u0026 Revelry","description":"First published in 2005. Arabic literature has a distinguished tradition of bacchanals but none are so consistently entertaining or explicit or iconoclastic as those of Abu Nuwas al_hasan ibn Hani al-Hakami (c. 756-c.815), the 'bad boy' of Abbasid poetry. In his khamriyyat, Abu Nuwas offers a glimpse of the hedonistic and dissipated world he inhabited: the world of Baghdad high society at the zenith of the Abbasid caliphate. Yet there is also a modern and up-to-date feel about his poetry that makes it ideal for presentation to an English-speaking readership, some twelve centuries after his death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Colville\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138994995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138994997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.25w x 0.32d","brand":"Colville","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241220321535,"sku":"9781138994997","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_038316b9-4208-4c95-b0cb-f44d63104421.jpg?v=1772653365","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poems-of-wine-revelry-colville-9781138994997","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
