Ibn Arabi's Small Death
Ibn Arabi’s Small Death is a sweeping and inventive work of historical fiction that chronicles the life of the great Sufi master and philosopher Ibn Arabi. Known in the West as “Rumi’s teacher,” he was a poet and mystic who proclaimed that love was his religion. Born in twelfth-century Spain during the Golden Age of Islam, Ibn Arabi traveled thousands of miles from Andalusia to distant Azerbaijan, passing through Morocco, Egypt, the Hijaz, Syria, Iraq, and Turkey on a journey of discovery both physical and spiritual. Witness to the wonders and cruelties of his age, exposed to the political rule of four empires, Ibn Arabi wrote masterworks on mysticism that profoundly influenced the world. Alwan’s fictionalized first-person narrative, written from the perspective of Ibn Arabi himself, breathes vivid life into a celebrated and polarizing figure.

In questo ambizioso romanzo, Mohamed Hasan Alwan ci conduce in un’epoca lontana, a cavallo tra il XII e il XIII secolo, ricostruendo passo dopo passo e con dovizia di particolari la vita...

Ghâleb, quadragénaire saoudien échoué sur les rives de la Willamette, à Portland, se retrouve un jour nez à nez avec une drôle de créature : un mammifère à queue plate dont il ignore le nom, mais qui lui rappelle singulièrement l'entourage qu'il a laissé derrière lui. Aussitôt, il est renvoyé à son passé familial et à ses échecs personnels. Né d'un premier mariage malheureux, Ghâleb a toujours été un étranger pour les siens. Sa relation clandestine avec Ghâda, une femme qu'il n'a pu épouser pour cause d'incompatibilité sociale entre familles, ne lui procure plus grand-chose, et il s'agirait pour lui de mettre fin à cette histoire impossible. Seul, en crise, il vou...
