5.0 out of 5 stars
very recommendable book,
By SEBASTIANVS "libra64" (TOKYO Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Homoeroticism in Classical Arabic Literature (Paperback)
This is a very interesting and readable book not only for westerners or exclusive monotheists but also for us Japanese. Although we know that in pre-modern muslim societies male-boy love was extremely popular as a common knowledge, we could find Arabic same sex relationship only sporadically in famous literal works e.g. Thousand and One Nights, Abu Nuwas' erotic poems, etc. And now we can read the topic as a whole in this book. If I may be allowed to hope more, I wish that the authors have included many historical episodes & anecdotes too. Of course I know no book is perfect. Then I 'd like to read Homoeroticism in classical Persian literature, and in classical Indian(Sanskrit & Prakrit) literature also.Probably Mr. Leonard Zwilling will offer us a good book on the latter.
