Sommario/riassunto

Abdelwahab Meddeb's 'White Traverses' is a poetic memoir of growing up in Tunisia which contrasts the country's Islamic and European influences. 'Tombeau of Ibn Arabi' is a series of prose poems that draws their inspiration from Ibn Arabi, and from Dante, who learned a poetry of sensual love from Arabi.
