Poems of wine and revelry : the Khamriyyat of Abu Nuwas
Abū Nuwās al-Ḥasan ibn Hāniʼ al-Ḥakamī (Author), Jim Colville (Translator)
One of the greatest of Arabic poets - indeed, the greatest in the opinion of some critics - Abu Nuwas wrote accomplished verse that demonstrated his technical mastery of all the major genres. This work offers a glimpse of the hedonistic and dissipated world he inhabited: the world of Baghdad high society at the zenith of the Abbasid caliphate.
