Violence and Islam by Adonis
Adonis' influence on Arabic literature has been likened to that of T.S. Elliot in the English-speaking world. Yet alongside this spearheading of a modernist literary revolution, the secular Syrian-born poet is also renowned for his persistent and staunch attacks on despotism across the Arab world.
�Today�s most daring and provocative Arab poet�
Edward Said
�The Arab world's greatest living poet.�
New York Times
�Faith is like love, Adonis tells us; it falls within personal experience. Violence and Islam explores a multiplicity of modern interpretations that give rise to forms of faith and forms of barbarity. Adonis, in his powerful secular voice, here again proves why he is one of the most important literary figures of our times.'
