By viewing Gibran and Rihani's works in the light of English poets such as Wordsworth, Byron, and Shelley and American writers such as Emerson and Whitman—and by exploring Naimy through the lens of the Russian Realist tradition, drawing parallels specifically with the work of Belinsky, Tolstoy, Turgenev, and the Chekhovian tradition—this work provides an unusual window into the Arab world's cultural interaction with Europe, America, and Russia in the early 20th century. At the same time, it reaches beyond its academic scope and reveals universal elements that speak to all people and go beyond cultural frameworks altogether. 517 3 $aGibran, Rihani and Naimy 606 $aArabic literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aArabic literature$zForeign countries$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aArabic literature$y20th century$xEuropean influences 606 $aComparative literature$xWestern and Arabic 606 $aComparative literature$xArabic and Western 615 0$aArabic literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aArabic literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aArabic literature$xEuropean influences. 615 0$aComparative literature$xWestern and Arabic. 615 0$aComparative literature$xArabic and Western. 676 $a892.7/09005 700 $aI?manquliyeva$b Aida Na?sir q?z?$0666314 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973043803321 996 $aGibran, Rihani & Naimy$94481739 997 $aUNINA
