Moderate external shelfwear with a touch of sunning and rubbing to edges. -- Writers' understanding of their tasks and the role they should play in society is decisive for the nature of their writing: will they indulge in mere l'art pour l'art, or should literature serve political, social, or moral ends? A prominent question also in the Islamic world, past and present. This book assembles contributions of renowned specialists in the field of Middle Eastern literatures, dealing with modern as well as classical literatures (Arabic, Persian, Turkish), prose as well as poetry, fiction as well as non-fiction and metafiction. Important issues are raised: the self-image of the ancient Arab poet, the emergence of the writer as a public moralist during the 19th century, the reception of the concept of littérature engagée in the Middle East, the role of commitment in the process of nation-building, commitment to a homeland, to Islam, to the cause of humanity, the purpose of writing as appearing in self-reflexive texts, sources of literary inspiration, the importance (and character) of literary 'beauty' and 'quality', the effectiveness of certain techniques such as recurring on archetypes or earlier literary models, etc. -- The series Beiruter Texte und Studien (BTS, 'Texts and Studies from Beirut') places its thematical and regional focus on the Levant. It is considered a platform for interdisciplinary debates pursued by cultural studies and social sciences with the historical background. -- Contents: Anthropological Turn in Some Nineteenth Century Arabic Literature / Nadia Al-Bagdadi; The Poet and His Demon / J.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This anthology by Stephan Guth assembles, in English translation, more than fourty prose texts of modern Arabic, Turkish, Persian, and Hebrew fiction, from the 19th century reform period until the early 2000s. Each of them can be regarded as having attained canonical status - not only because they display 'typical' stylistic features of the periods to which their respective national literary historiographies usually ascribe them ('Reformism,' 'Romanticism,' Socially criticial Realism,' etc.), but also because they mirror, in an exemplary manner, the political and social situations in their countries at the times they were written.As unfiltered comments by Middle Easterners who lived through decisive phases of their societies' development and experienced the ups and downs of their peoples' histories, the voices that speak from this collection have the quality of representative sources that grant us immediate insight into Middle Eastern lifeworlds. They make us relive the conflicts, dreams, traumata, desires and emotions of Arab, Turkish, Iranian and Israeli society at certain points in history and give us access to the worldviews and creative imagination with which authors meet and process the changes and challenges they register. The introductory paragraphs preceding each text provide background knowledge and the 'red thread,' their ensemble combining to a literary history of the Middle East in a nutshell. 544 pp. Englisch.
