Arabic literature has a distinguished tradition of bacchanals but none are so consistently entertaining or explicit or iconoclastic as those of Abu Nuwas al_hasan ibn Hani al-Hakami (c. 756-c.815), the 'bad boy' of Abbasid poetry. In his khamriyyat, Abu Nuwas offers a glimpse of the hedonistic and dissipated world he inhabited: the world of Baghdad high society at the zenith of the Abbasid caliphate. Yet there is also a modern and up-to-date feel about his poetry that makes it ideal for presentation to an English-speaking readership, some twelve centuries after his death.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49123601711331,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":68.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9781138994997-1.jpg?v=1788375324","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781138994997","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
