Product Name
Middle East Literature in Translation: Nightingales and Pleasure Gardens: Turkish Love Poems (Paperback)
Product Description

The earliest turkish verses dating from the sixth century A.D. were love lyrics. Since then love has dominated the Turks poetic modes and moods--pre-Islamic Ottoman classical folk modern. This collection covers love lyrics from all periods of Turkish poetry. It is the first anthology of its kind in English. The translations faithful to the originals possess a special freshness in style and sensibility. Here are lyrics from pre-Islamic Central Asia passages from epics mystical ecstasies of such eminent thirteenth-century figures as Rumi and Yunus Emre classical poems of the Ottoman Empire (including Süleyman the Magnificent and women court poets) lilting folk poems and the work of the legendary communist Nazim Hikmet (who is arguably Turkey s most famous poet internationally) and the greatest living Turkish poet Fazil Hüsnü Daglarca. The verses in this collection are true to the Turkish spirit as well as universal in their appeal. They show how Turks praise and satirize love how they see it as a poetic experience. Poetry was for many centuries the premier Turkish genre and love its predominant theme. Some of the best expressions produced by Turkish poets over a period of fifteen centuries can be found in this volume.
