Produktbeschreibung

In these pages, we encounter the masterpieces of Al-Jahiz's letters, Abu Uthman Amr ibn Bahr al-Basri, who combined the balanced Mu'tazilite thought with a sharp, witty satire, crafting texts that carry the essence of the Abbasid era and its vibrant details. These selections are not merely examples of refined Arabic prose, but rather testaments to an encyclopedic mind that navigated politics, society, philosophy, and science, presenting ideas with depth and embellishing them with eloquence and wit. Al-Jahiz excelled in transforming the art of the letter from a means of communication into a literary work in its own right, capturing the pulse of his society and reflecting its contradictions with a style that combines meticulous analysis with profound human sensitivity. From his letter on the virtues of knowledge, which elevates the status of learning, to his letter on women, which blends romantic description with philosophical insight, and from his biting satire in praise and invective to his reflections on human nature, we find texts that transcend their time to speak to the reader today. This book is distinguished by its carefully selected collection of letters, revealing a wide range of al-Jahiz's interests and offering the reader a rare opportunity to delve into the thought of a man whose influence has not diminished despite the passage of centuries. It is an open invitation to discover a timeless literary and intellectual legacy, whose words continue to inspire, amuse, and provoke profound questions.
