مختارات شعر من ناديا تويني

Rate this book
هذه "المختارات" شعراً ونثراً شعرياً، صدرت عام 1984 في الذكرى الأولى لغياب ناديا تويني، وضع لها أنسي الحاج توطئة قصيرة هي بمثابة الشهادة في مسار الشاعرة، وشارك في الترجمات أنسي الحاج، أدونيس، وهنري فريد صعب.

قيمة هذه الطبعة الجديدة أنها بمثابة انتولوجيا شاملة، تأتي في إطار مجموعة كاملة بالعربية لشعر ناديا تويني في ثمانية كتب، منها ما كان قد نشر جزئياً، ومنها ما أعيدت ترجمته بحيث تضم المجموعة ترجمتين مختلفتين، واحدة كاملة وفق الديوان الفرنسي الأصلي، وواحدة مجتزأة في "المختارات" فضلاً عما لم يكن نُشر بالعربية قط.

هكذا يصير في وسع جيل جديد من القراء، ممن لم يعاصر الشاعرة أو تعرّف إليها لماماً، عبر منشورات ومقالات متناثرة، أن يتمتع بمطالعة شاملة متناسقة النشر إنما متنوعة في مناهج الترجمة والتقديم. الأمر الذي نرجو أن يوفّق بين المقارنة الدراسية والمتعة الجمالية.

مقدمة الطبعة الأولى، وقد وضعها بول شاوول، نعيد نشرها كوثيقة، مع مقدمة جديدة بقلم زهيدة درويش جبور، الأستاذة في كلية الآداب والعلوم الإنسانية في الجامعة اللبنانية، من منظار ناديا تويني بعد عشرين سنة.

Nadia Tuéni (born Hamadeh) was a Lebanese Francophone poet, who authored numerous volumes of poetry.

She was born in Beirut in 1935, to a Lebanese Druze father, Mohammed Ali Hamadeh, who was a diplomat and writer, and a French mother. She grew up as bilingual in the presence of two cultures. Her brother, Marwan Hamadeh, is a politician, and another brother, Ali Hamadeh, is a journalist at An Nahar and Future TV.

Tuéni published her first book of poems, Les Textes Blonds, in 1963. She worked as the literary editor of the Lebanese French-language newspaper, Le Jour, in 1967 and contributed to various Arabic and French publications.

She married Ghassan Tuéni, the publisher of An Nahar and doyen of the Lebanese press, in 1953 in a civil marriage ceremony. They had three children, all of whom would predecease their father, who long outlived her. Her son, Gebran Tuéni, a journalist and politician, was assassinated in 2005. Another son, Makram, was 21 when he died in a car accident in Paris in 1987. A daughter, Nayla, who was born in 1955 died of cancer at age 7. Her death deeply affected Nadia and led her to compose her first collection: Les Textes Blonds, which was published in 1963. In 1967, she became a literary editor at Le Jour, where she contributed to various Arabic and French publications. She also has a brother, the minister and deputy Marwan Hamade and a step brother, a journalist in An Nahar daily newspaper, Ali Hamade. She describes her country, Lebanon, in Poems of Love and War (2006:xxxv) as follows: "I belong to a country that commits suicide every day while it is being assassinated. As a matter of fact, I belong to a country that died several times. Why should I not die too of the gnawing, ugly, slow, and vicious death, of this Lebanese death?"

Tuéni received several awards during her lifetime, including the Prix de l'Académie Française, the Order of La Pléiade, and the Prix Said Akl.
