Following the informative and entertaining style of adab literature and based on a large number of relevant sources from a wide range of genres, Hasan Shuraydi presents a panoramic view of relevant themes that concern youth and old age in Medieval Arabic literature intended for both specialists and non-specialists. A pattern of binary oppositions runs through such themes, e.g., black/white, male/female, husband/wife, sacred/profane, paradise/this world, ignorance/wisdom, past/present, young/old, new/old, health/disease, sappy/dry, permitted/forbidden, lust/chastity, obedience/disobedience, experience/inexperience, folly/reason, sobriety/intoxication, parent/child, celibacy/marriage, present life/hereafter. Themes discussed include: aging, ambition, aphrodisiacs, beauty, education, feminist trends, hair dyeing, homosexuality, honoring age, jihad, life stages, longevity, love, marriage, sex.Islamic history and civilization ;Volume 107.Arabic literature750-1258History and criticismArabic literature1258-1800History and criticismOld age in literatureAging in literatureYouth in literatureElectronic books.Arabic literatureHistory and criticism.Arabic literatureHistory and criticism.Old age in literature.Aging in literature.Youth in literature.892.7/090034Shuraydi Hasan921240MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463525803321The raven and the falcon2066318UNINA01025nam a2200253 i 450099100338569970753620021212150735.0021127s|||| it ||| | ita 8820729393b11799663-39ule_instLE02378955ExLDip.to Studi Storiciita940Rossetti, Gabriella125176Legislazione e prassi istituzionale nell'Europa medievale :tradizioni normative, ordinamenti, circolazione mercantile, secoli 11.-15. /a cura di Gabriella RossettiNapoli :Liguori,2001IX, 488 p. ;26 cm.EuropaStoriaMedioevoLegislazione.b1179966321-09-0612-12-02991003385699707536LE023 940 ROS 1 112023000056745le023-E0.00-l- 03030.i1204753312-12-02Legislazione e prassi istituzionale nell'Europa medievale907090UNISALENTOle02301-01-02ma -itait 01
