Hafiz's Little Book of Life
Author: Hafiz
Publisher: Red Wheel/Weiser
ISBN: 1642970468
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Life lessons from one of the greatest poets of all time in all new translations by a master poet and translator. This is the perfect introduction to Hafiz for all lovers of poetry and seekers of love, spirituality, and meaning. "Hafiz's poetry aims to close the gap between mortal humans and the divine and this book opens a door to the poet's gardens. From the first page, you are invited to settle into a sublime sanctuary and partake in enchantment until you feel the Beloved inside your beating heart and running through your veins."--Ari Honarvar, author of A Girl Called Rumi I have this gem And it's looking for a beholder Hafiz's Little Book of Life is a lush collection of more than 250 poems by Hafiz, commonly known as the Tongue of the Hidden. In Iran, ordinary people memorize poetry of Hafiz. Lines from his poems are quoted as proverbs in everyday life. Stars can be heard singing his poetry on the radio. A copy of his collected work (divan) can be found in any average household. Translated by native Persian speaker, Erfan Mojib and the award-winning translator Gary Gach, this collection will be sure to strike a chord with Hafiz lovers everywhere. Let the unforgettable words of Hafiz shine through you with their love, depth, and celebration of life. This collection of mystical poetry focuses on the issues we encounter in everyday life. The book unfolds as Garden of the World, Garden of Love, and The Garden of Bliss. These encompass a range of experiences a person is likely to encounter in a lifetime. World includes personal and social themes, such as solitude, hypocrisy, and hope. Love spans separation, longing, and union. Bliss, the capper, is the briefest. Also included is a small biography of Hafiz, translators' notes, and a section on using Hafiz's work for divination. A typical Hafiz Oracle occurs every year at a Yalda celebration (the longest night of the year). During the evening, someone might make a wish and open a book of Hafiz and read a poem out loud. They then pass the book to the next person.

Archaeology of Babel
Author: Siraj Ahmed
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 1503604047
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
For more than three decades, preeminent scholars in comparative literature and postcolonial studies have called for a return to philology as the indispensable basis of critical method in the humanities. Against such calls, this book argues that the privilege philology has always enjoyed within the modern humanities silently reinforces a colonial hierarchy. In fact, each of philology's foundational innovations originally served British rule in India. Tracing an unacknowledged history that extends from British Orientalist Sir William Jones to Palestinian American intellectual Edward Said and beyond, Archaeology of Babel excavates the epistemic transformation that was engendered on a global scale by the colonial reconstruction of native languages, literatures, and law. In the process, it reveals the extent to which even postcolonial studies and European philosophy—not to mention discourses as disparate as Islamic fundamentalism, Hindu nationalism, and global environmentalism—are the progeny of colonial rule. Going further, it unearths the alternate concepts of language and literature that were lost along the way and issues its own call for humanists to reckon with the politics of the philological practices to which they now return.
