Book Description | Has it been possible to add something about Al-Mutanabbi, the fullness of the world and the preoccupation of people, throughout these centuries of his birth until now?! And did part of it still not study, scrutinize, and turn on more than one face, and not go through discussion and take and respond between fans of this great poet and his critics and haters?!
Al-Mutanabbi is an exceptional figure in our literary heritage. His fans, readers and keepers are too many to count, too dangerous to be engaged without prior preparation and preparation. He has extensive knowledge of his poetry and of many stages and details of his life. Their protection in defending or attacking him is immeasurable. Thus, the preconceived image of him is more binding. And the imagined picture of him, which they painted for him, is too attached to the imagination to be discussed. Its relationship to national identity is more rooted and dangerous. For many, this makes insulting one of the nation's "values and symbols." But I write about al-Mutanabbi after two years of reading him, analyzing his poetry and studying the details of his life in order to write a TV series about him. Dramatic writing requires the author to penetrate into the souls of his heroes to understand them, to imagine them in situations where human beings can be, to draw their reactions, by dramatic logic, as human reactions can be. All within the framework of documented historical information. |
