Paperback. Condition: New. This is the first study to examine the Arabic translations of a number of major modern poems in the English language, in particular T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land and Walt Whitman's Song of Myself. 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. Revealing 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.…

Tapa blanda. Condition: New. Ghareeb Iskander es una de las voces más relevantes de la poesía iraquí contemporánea. Atravesada por las fracturas de la historia reciente de Irak --la guerra, la pérdida y el exilio--, su escritura, de gran intensidad lírica y hondura filosófica, constituye un puente entre la herencia mesopotámica y las preocupaciones universales del mundo actual.Averso Poesía edita por primera vez en castellano La serpiente de Gilgamesh y otros poemas, publicado como edición bilingüe árabe-inglés en 2016. Iskander recupera en esta obra la figura del héroe de la antigua epopeya para convertirla en símbolo del individuo contemporáneo, enfrentado a la destrucción y al desarraigo. Con una voz contenida y de gran precisión simbólica, sus poemas transitan entre la elegía y la esperanza, entre la conciencia de lo perdido y la afirmación de la palabra poética como forma de resistencia. Como sostiene en su prólogo Abdul Hadi Sadoun, traductor de esta edición: «Al cerrar este poemario [.] comprendemos entonces que la ausencia tiene voz, que el silencio posee memoria y que las lágrimas conservan una sabiduría antigua». Es Ghareeb Iskander un poeta de la evocación, capaz de transformar una de las tradiciones literarias más antiguas del mundo en una reflexión profundamente actual sobre la fragilidad humana.…
