About the author
Adonis
286 books208 followersAdonis was born Ali Ahmed Said in the village of Al Qassabin in Syria, in 1930, to a family of farmers, the oldest of six children. At the age of nineteen, he adopted the name Adonis (also spelled Adunis), after the Greek god of fertility, with the hopes that the new name would result in newspaper publication of his poems.
Although his family could not afford to send Adonis to school, his father taught him to read poetry and the Qu'ran, and memorize poems while he worked in the fields. When he was fourteen, Adonis read a poem to the president of Syria who was visiting a nearby town. The impressed president offered to grant a request, to which the young Adonis responded that he wanted to attend school. The president quickly made arrangements for Adonis to attend a French-run high school, after which he studied philosophy at Damascus University.
In 1956, after a year-long imprisonment for political activities, Adonis fled Syria for Beirut, Lebanon. He joined a vibrant community of artists, writers, and exiles in Beirut, and co-founded and edited Sh'ir, and later Muwaqaf, both progressive journals of poetry and politics. He studied at St. Joseph University in Beirut and obtained his Doctorat d'Etat in 1973.
Considered one of the Arab world's greatest living poets, Adonis is the author of numerous collections, including Mihyar of Damascus (BOA Editions, 2008), A Time Between Ashes and Roses (Syracuse University Press, 2004); If Only the Sea Could Sleep (2003); The Pages of Day and Night (2001); Transformations of the Lover (1982); The Book of the Five Poems (1980); The Blood of Adonis (1971), winner of the Syria-Lebanon Award of the International Poetry Forum; Songs of Mihyar the Damascene (1961), Leaves in the Wind (1958), and First Poems (1957). He is also an essayist, an editor of anthologies, a theoretician of poetics, and the translator of several works from French into Arabic.
Over the course of his career, Adonis has fearlessly experimented with form and content, pioneering the prose poem in Arabic, and taking a influential, and sometimes controversial role in Arab modernism. In a 2002 interview in the New York Times, Adonis declared: '"There is no more culture in the Arab world. It's finished. Culturally speaking, we are a part of Western culture, but only as consumers, not as creators."
Adonis's awards and honors include the first ever International Nâzim Hikmet Poetry Award, the Syria-Lebanon Best Poet Award, and the Highest Award of the International Poem Biennial in Brussels. He was elected as Stephen Mallarme Academy Member in Paris in 1983. He has taught at the Lebanese University as a professor of Arabic literature, at Damascus University, and at the Sorbonne. He has been a Lebanese citizen since 1961 and currently lives in Paris.

هذا السِّفر والسَّفَر الضخم الهائل، أي طاقة أعانت أدونيس في سبك التاريخ شعرا؟
إنه عمل جبار، واعٍ بنفسه، إنه الكتاب، بل هو أم الكتاب، البداية والمنتهى. قد يتهلهل أحيانا ويسفر عن تعمية، ولكن الجهد والعرق يفيضان من طرر الورق.
جهد جبار في إعادة التاريخ، واستنطاق الموت والسيف والنطع..ليس المتنبي إلا شاهدا، فما حرّكه الشاعر كما أراد.
..
لا يمكنني القول بأني قرأتُ المجلدات الثلاث..هذا النوع من الكتب لا يُقرأ بهذه الطريقة الجافة كما لو أنه منتهٍ..تفتحه كالحظ وتقرأ..وترى

شكل عجيب من الشعر، يقدم صورة جميلة لسيد الشعراء أبي الطيب المتنبي.. يسقط أحيانا أدونيس، في لغطه الذي يبعد به أحيانا عن موسيقى الشعر و جماله.. لكنه في أغلب الأحيان يحسن العبارة مثلما يتقن كهنوتها، و أدونيس كاهن لغة صلب و حجّة حقيقية حقا.
الكتاب ضخم و لكن المتعة تستمرّ في صفحاته و الدهشة تعرض عليك بين الحين و الآخر.

ريما حرّضت أحدهم على الآخر , وواجهت أحدهم بالآخر , و انتصرت لأحدهم دون الآخر . هذا كله لكي اكتشف الاحتمال , الممكن , الوجه الآخر ,لكي أهدم بلادة الوضوح , لكي أعطي للتناقض حدوده القصوى .
يدهشني أدونيس دوما بامتلاكه اللغة العميقة و القراءة المتعددة الأبعاد
لا أجمل أن تقرأ المتنبي بعيون أدونيس ........كتاب رائع

this is a "must-read book" for those who are interested in Arabic literature, history, and rhetoric. It is considered the most important/influential book of the century.

من أسوء تجاربي مع علي أحمد سعيد
December 27, 2023
"I koranskolan förväxlade jag
barnet med varje stråle...
Till varje bok sa jag:
du är inte meningen.
...
Ljuset yppar inte sina mysterier.
Dess hemlighet har smält samman
i dess strålar."

Ganska svårgenomtränglig, textformatet är så annorlunda, men när man kommer in i språket finns här mycket att hämta. Blodigt, episkt och långsamt. Adonis har varit min nobelkandidat länge nu.
