Publisher's Synopsis
The Luzumiyat of Abu�������l-Ala is a collection of selected poems by the renowned Arabic poet, Abu Al-Ala Al-Ma'arri. The poems are taken from his works, Luzum Ma La Yalzam and Suct Uz-Zand, and were compiled and translated into English by Reynold A. Nicholson in 1918. The Luzumiyat is a reflection of Al-Ma'arri's philosophical and intellectual beliefs, which were often controversial and critical of organized religion. The poems cover a range of topics, including morality, human nature, and the pursuit of knowledge. The book provides an insight into the mind of one of the most influential poets of the Islamic Golden Age and is a must-read for anyone interested in Arabic literature and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
