نبذة الناشر:Rihani appears here in his most intellectually and spiritually incisive analysis, as he tackles in writing the great challenges of his day: materialism and spirituality, the taste and the west, the advent of industrial revolution, world war 1, freeing the middle east from the shackles of the ottoman empire, the ...emergence of a viable and strong Islamic culture in the middle east, and the precursor to the creation of Israel in historic Palestine. This period also saw rise of Nazism and the emergence of literary schools including surrealism, existentialism, and new realism and the great depression in America. These subjects, too, capture his intellectual attention.
The book is organized around trends of thought and subject, not form of expression. More is revealed in uncovering the evolution of Rihani's vision of a bilingual writer of many concerns and commitments addressing his concerns to the world as a world citizen. The book completes the portrait of a man of vision whose insights are invaluable in a world grapping with problems that are seemingly beyond humanity's capacity to cope or solve and yet Rihani lays a blueprint for thoughtful solutions by challenging convention thinking on these subjects.
The writings in this collection are largely ordered according subjects and the author's trends of thought. Within each subject attention is given to chronological sequencing. The book focuses on literary and cultural topics, as the authors examines the social and intellectual dynamics of the old word while striving for a deeper understanding of this adopted land. إقرأ المزيد
