OF El Harith Ibn Hfliza of the B6ni Bekr, little is told us by the commentators except what has been already related, of his pleading the cause of his tribe, before Amr Ibn Hind, against that of Taghleb. Like all the rest of the Moallakit poets, he was of noble birth and a warrior. He was also long-lived, for it is said of him that he was already a hundred years old when he made his Golden Ode. If this can be taken as exact, it would make him by many years the earliest in point of birth of all these poets, for the pleading referred to took place about the year 560 A.d. Beyond the facts, however, connecled with his Ode nothing definite is recorded of him. His Ode is from first to last a piece of special pleading on a political subject, and for this reason will be found the least generally interesting of the seven. It is almost unadorned with those wild natural descriptions of beast and bird and tree, which make the chief charm of the others, nor is there much of originality or passion in its opening loveverses. These are introduced clearly as a matter of convention, and were in all probability borrowed in old age for the occasion from the poetry of his younger time. They have nothing in common with the rest of the Ode, and there is no echo of them in the body of the piece. The whole poem is a long argument vigorously expressed and not without a beauty of its own, but with more of flattery towards the prince addressed than was common among the pre-Islamic poets. Hind herself, the prince's mother, is said to have been pleased at the introduction of her name in the opening verses, and to have influenced Amr in El Harith's favour. With regard to this, the commentator El Tabrfzi gives some interesting details. El...

Book excerpt: Prized for their stamina and their acclimation to the harsh conditions of the Arabian deserts, the ancestors of the horses that are now recognized as the Egyptian Arabian purebred horse entered Egypt centuries ago, establishing the valuable bloodlines of the breed there. The breeding programs in Egypt therefore became the root source for the finest Arabian horses, attracting passionate enthusiasts from all corners of the world. Artists, poets, and historians have for centuries been inspired by their great beauty and romantic legacy. Nasr Marei is the third-generation owner of a stud farm in Giza, Egypt. His love for and knowledge of the Egyptian Arabian horse, coupled with his sensitive and striking photography, have inspired this visual tribute. His extraordinary photographs, accompanied by text that traces the history and evolution of the Arabian's journey into Egypt, celebrate the lineage of this living treasure of Egyptian heritage.

Download or read book Translation and the Manipulation of Difference written by Tarek Shamma and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translation and the Manipulation of Difference explores the question of difference in translation and offers an extended critique of the advocacy of foreignizing translation as a practice that does not minimize the alterity of the foreign text, and could therefore serve as an antidote to ethnocentrism and cultural insularity. Shamma examines the reception of Arabic literature - especially the Arabian Nights - in nineteenth-century England and offers a detailed analysis of the period's major translations from Arabic: by Edward Lane, Richard Burton and Wilfred Blunt. He demonstrates that the long, complicated history of interaction, often confrontation, between Europe and the Arab World, where (mis)representations of the Other were intricately embroiled with political struggles, provides a critical position from which to examine the crucial role of context, above and beyond the textual elements of the translation, in shaping the political effects of translation. Examining translation techniques and decisions in the context of the translators' own goals as well as the conditions that surrounded the reception of their work, the study shows how each translator 'manipulated' his original in line with political positions that ranged from (implicit) acquiescence to steadfast resistance to colonialism. In a carefully elaborated critique of totalizing positions, the author argues that the foreignizing-domesticating model is too limited to describe the social and political function of translation and calls for a more complex understanding of the sociopolitical dimensions of translation strategies.
