Description

Lebanese poet, writer, and critic, Henri Zoghaib is a leading cultural figure in the Arab world. His poetry, at once tightly condensed and intensely emotional, has been translated into several languages. This edition provides the first multi-lingual translation offering each verse in the original Arabic, English, French, and German.

Poems are juxtaposed with illustrations by the artist, Wajih Nahle, giving readers a book that is both visually stunning and a rare entry into Arabic poetry.
