Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Translations of Goethes poems about Arabia and Persia and his essays on Islamic culture.In WestEast Divan (1819), Germanys greatest poet J. W. von Goethe offered a work of lasting appeal. Stimulated by the Divan (Collection) by medieval pub poet Hafiz, Goethe blends his own identity with that of the Persian Sufi master who sang the delights of wine and tavern romance in a context of Quranic allusion. Martin Bidney accompanies his rendering with commentary poems; and Peter Anton von Arnim joins him to offer, as well, the first translation into English of Goethes Notes and Essays, a pioneering guide to the cultural history of the Middle East. Bidneys Introduction clarifies the transformation brought about in Goethes thought by his Muslim mentor.Bidneys translations of the Divan poems render, for the first time, both form and content in a way that is faithful to the original. The poetical commentaries authored by Bidney are of a stunning originality and are composed entirely in the spirit of Goethes own conception of world literature as a deeply felt interchange among peoples and cultures. I recommend this book most emphatically and with highest praise, in the hope that after nearly two hundred years it will help Goethes WestEast Divan to make the breakthrough it deserves in the Englishspeaking world. Katharina MommsenBidneys Introduction correctly indicates that Goethe [offers] one of the most notable and farreaching visions of EastWest understanding achieved in modern times [This] englishing of the Divan [is] a pleasure to read.
