Nizar Qabbani: Journal of a City Named Beirut
This book is a beautiful, nostalgic and melancholic journey into the early days of the Lebanese Civil War that we, the generation born in the forties and fifties of the last century, are very familiar with. These memories hold a special place in our hearts and minds and will do so forever.
This is also the story of the destructive and heartbreaking Lebanese Civil War. It is written in a poetic, symbolic, and metaphorical style and language. It is the best poetic prose that Nizar has ever composed. It is a must-read to appreciate the mastery of Nizar Qabbani, an addicted lover of Beirut and a true Arab nationalist.
