Library of the World's Best Literature, Ancient and Modern volume 1
by Various
The Library of the World's Best Literature, Ancient and Modern, is a work of enormous proportions. Setting out with the simple goal of offering "American households a mass of good reading", the editors drew from literature of all times and all kinds what they considered the best pieces of human writing, and compiled an ambitious collection of 45 volumes (with a 46th being an index-guide). Besides the selection and translation of a huge number of poems, letters, short stories and sections of books, the collection offers, before each chapter, a short essay about the author or subject in question. In many cases, chapters contemplate not one author, but certain groups of works, organized by nationality, subject or period; there is, thus, a chapter on Accadian-Babylonian literature, one on the Holy Grail, and one on Chansons, for example.
The result is a collection that holds the interest, for the variety of subjects and forms, but also as a means of first contact with such famous and important authors that many people have heard of, but never read, such as Abelard, Dante or Lord Byron. According to the editor Charles Dudley Warner, this collection "is not a library of reference only, but a library to be read."
This first volume contains chapters from "Abelard" to "Amiel". (Summary by Leni)

Prof. Muhammad Bennis
Muhammad V University, Rabat, Morocco
"Between Translation and Composition"
Slocum Room of the Lilly Library. Reception to follow.
Prof. Muhammad Bennis (PhD, Modern Arabic Poetry, Mohammad V University, Rabat) is a Moroccan poet and one of the leading proponents of poetic modernism in the Arab world today. Born in Fas, Morocco in 1948, he has taught since 1980 at Muhammad V University in Rabat. He has published many poetry collections and critical works in Arabic and literary translations from French (Mallarmé, Georges Bataille) into Arabic. His stature as a major contemporary Arab poet has been widely recognized in the Arab world and throughout the globe.
Collections and selections of his poetry have been translated into French, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, Japanese and many other languages. His poetry has also earned him recognition in the form of many national and international awards, among them: The Moroccan Book Award for his collection The Gift of the Void (1993); Atlas Prize for the French translation of his collection, River between Two Funerals (2000); Chevalier des arts et des lettres, France (2003); Calopezzati Prize for Mediterranean Literature, Italy (2006); Ferronia Prize for International Literature, Italy (2007), al-Owais Prize for Poetry, Dubai, UAE (2007); Maghrebi Culture Prize, Morocco (2010); and, most recently, in March 2011 he traveled to Florence, Italy, to accept the 55th Premio Letterario Internazionale Ceppo Pistoia award for international literature, from L'Accademia Pistoiese del Ceppo. One of the foremost contemporary voices in Arab literary and cultural criticism, he is the author, for example, of the 4-volume Modern Arabic Poetry: Structures and Mutations (1989-91), Writing Erasure (1994), and Modernity Destroyed (2004). Please see his website (Arabic-French-English) for more information.

News from the BBC reports:
'While the Arab world has no shortage of literature, relatively little of it is translated for a wider audience.
This contrasts sharply with the vast amount of English language material that has come onto the market in the region.
And with the digital publishing industry giving Arabic work a wide berth, what can be done to push the work of local authors and publishers overseas?'

Adonis, from Syria, is considered the most important contemporary Arabic poet. His work has finally been translated into Dutch. Tonight Adonis receives the first copy of his poetry collection Wat blijft (What Remains) from Rotterdam’s Mayor Aboutaleb, an avowed fan. After that, Egypt’s Alaa al Aswany—famous for The Yacoubian Building, his taboo-busting novel that stirred up the Arab world—also presents new work in translation: The Automobile Club of Cairo. In English.
De Syrische Adonis geldt als de belangrijkste hedendaagse Arabische dichter. Eindelijk is zijn poëzie nu ook in het Nederlands beschikbaar. Vanavond ontvangt Adonis het eerste exemplaar van de dichtbundel Wat blijft uit handen van burgemeester Aboutaleb van Rotterdam, een verklaard liefhebber van zijn poëzie. Vervolgens sluit de Egyptische Alaa al Aswani aan, bekend van Het Yacoubian, de taboedoorbrekende roman die heel wat stof deed opwaaien in de Arabische wereld. Ook hij presenteert nieuw vertaald werk: De Automobielclub van Caïro. Engelstalig.

Arabic literature (Arabic: الأدب العربي, al-Adab al-‘Arabī) is the writing produced, both prose and poetry, by writers in the Arabic language. The Arabic word used for literature is adab which is derived from a meaning of etiquette, and implies politeness, culture and enrichment.
Arabic literature emerged in the 5th century with only fragments of the written language appearing before then. The Qur'an, widely regarded as the finest piece of literature work in the Arabic language, would have the greatest lasting effect on Arabic culture and its literature. Arabic literature flourished during the Islamic Golden Age, but has remained vibrant to the present day, with poets and prose-writers across the Arab world achieving increasing success.
The period before the writing of the Qur'an and the rise of Islam is known to Muslims as Jahiliyyah or period of ignorance. Whilst this ignorance refers mainly to religious ignorance, there is little literature before this time, although significant oral tradition is postulated. Tales like those about Sinbad and Antar bin Shaddad were probably current, but were recorded later. The final decades of the 6th century, however, begin to show the flowering of a lively written tradition. This tradition was captured over two centuries later with two important compilations of the Mu'allaqat and the Mufaddaliyat.

Essay on Arabic Literature by Richard Gottheil
Library of the World's Best Literature, Ancient and Modern volume 1 by Various The Library of the World's Best Literature, Ancient and Modern, is a work of enormous proportions. Setting out with the simple goal of offering "American households a mass of good reading", the editors drew from literature of all times and all kinds what they considered the best pieces of human writing, and compiled an ambitious collection of 45 volumes (with a 46th being an index-guide). Besides the selection and translation of a huge number of poems, letters, short stories and sections of books, the collection offers, before each chapter, a short essay about the author or subject in question. In many cases, chapters contemplate not one author, but certain groups of works, organized by nationality, subject or ... -

Can Arabic literature widen its appeal
News from the BBC reports: 'While the Arab world has no shortage of literature, relatively little of it is translated for a wider audience. This contrasts sharply with the vast amount of English language material that has come onto the market in the region. And with the digital publishing industry giving Arabic work a wide berth, what can be done to push the work of local authors and publishers overseas?' -

The result is a collection that holds the interest, for the variety of subjects and forms, but also as a means of first contact with such famous and important authors that many people have heard of, but never read, such as Abelard, Dante or Lord Byron. According to the editor Charles Dudley Warner, this collection "is not a library of reference only, but a library to be read."
This first volume contains chapters from "Abelard" to "Amiel". (Summary by Leni)
