{"product_id":"poems-of-wine-revelry-1","title":"Poems Of Wine \u0026 Revelry","description":"First published in 2005. Arabic literature has a distinguished tradition of bacchanals but none are so consistently entertaining or explicit or iconoclastic as those of Abu Nuwas al_hasan ibn Hani al-Hakami (c. 756-c.815), the 'bad boy' of Abbasid poetry. In his khamriyyat, Abu Nuwas offers a glimpse of the hedonistic and dissipated world he inhabited: the world of Baghdad high society at the zenith of the Abbasid caliphate.  Yet there is also a modern and up-to-date feel about his poetry that makes it ideal for presentation to an English-speaking readership, some twelve centuries after his death.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246444728664,"sku":"9781138994997","price":61.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138994997.jpg?v=1781942457","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/poems-of-wine-revelry-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
