Beschreibung:
Ted Gorton came early to Oriental studies, spending formative years in Turkey where his father was the US military attche, and studying at the American University or Beirut in the 1960's. He later took a doctorate in Arabic Studies from Oxford and lectured at St.Andrews University, from where he was lured wawy to Arabia, spending 25 years in the oil business before returning to his first love, Arabic poetry. Series.
A reasoned anthology, a record of people who visited Lebanon from 1800 BC to the present; and of the Lebanese themselves, writing about their homeland, their religions, their joys, their wars, and their sorrows. The potential visitor to Lebanon will discover a country that is infinitely richer, more diverse, and perennial than the headlines of the last few decades might suggest. The reader will delight in familiar, and discover some less familiar, treasures of description, analysis, and literature.
