Description

Explore the hedonistic world of Baghdad high society through the eyes of Abu Nuwas al-Hasan ibn Hani al-Hakami. Known as the bad boy of Abbasid poetry, Abu Nuwas offers a unique perspective on the zenith of the Abbasid caliphate. This collection of khamriyyat provides a glimpse into a dissipated and entertaining era of Arabic literature. These poems are distinguished by their iconoclastic and explicit nature, setting them apart from other bacchanal traditions. Despite being written twelve centuries ago, the poetry maintains a modern and up-to-date feel that makes it accessible for contemporary English-speaking readers. This volume serves as a window into a historical period of intense culture and revelry, presented by the respected publisher Routledge.
