The search for the origins of a forgotten sacred poem is at the heart of this novel about a modern Brazilian poet of Lebanese descent who travels to the Middle East to uncover the truth about what he believes may be part of a group of pre-Islamic poems. Following the model of "A Thousand and One Nights," the novel is a quest through time and language that recounts many of the poet's experiences as he travels through the deserts of Arabia in search of a beautiful woman whose beauty remains hidden until the circularity of the riddle of Qaf is solved.

Uma das maiores obras de um dos mais importantes escritores brasileiros O enigma de Qaf é um romance de aventura, saga de um poeta-herói em busca de um poema, "Qafiya al-Qaf", o oitavo poema suspenso. Construída a partir de três linhas narrativas — a história do protagonista, as narrativas secundárias, quase um duplo da primária, e as lendas de heróis árabes —, a trama reconstitui (ou inventa) o universo mágico de toda a mitologia pré-islâmica, no mesmo passo que recupera em português a vocação poética da língua árabe. Eleito, em 2004, pelo jornal O Globo o melhor romance do ano e vencedor dos prêmios APCA (Prêmio da Associação Paulista de Críticos de Arte de São Paulo) e o Casa de Las Americas 2005 na categoria Literatura Brasileira por unanimidade do juri, a obra de Alberto Mussa alcançou projeção internacional e foi rapidamente traduzida para diversos idiomas. Esta edição tem prefácio da professora emérita da USP, Walnice Nogueira Galvão, uma leitura acadêmica, que oferece informações valiosas ao leitor curioso. O texto de Alberto Mussa, sempre entremeado de elementos não ficcionais, desperta esse interesse. Um pós-escrito do autor, quase uma novela de formação, conta como ele escreveu este livro e, principalmente, como começou a utilizar métodos criados a partir das dificuldades que as histórias lhe ofereceram, construindo Qaf como um mosaico comovente e intrigante. Acréscimos necessários a quem já conhece a obra e que devem ser desfrutados por todos os que tiverem o prazer de ter um exemplar desses nas mãos.

The Latin American novel burst onto the international literary scene with the Boom era--led by Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes, and Mario Vargas Llosa--and has influenced writers throughout the world ever since. García Márquez and Vargas Llosa each received the Nobel Prize in literature, and many of the best-known contemporary novelists are inspired by the region's fiction. Indeed, magical realism, the style associated with García Márquez, has left a profound imprint on African American, African, Asian, Anglophone Caribbean, and Latinx writers. Furthermore, post-Boom literature continues to garner interest, from the novels of Roberto Bolaño to the works of César Aira and Chico Buarque, to those of younger novelists such as Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Alejandro Zambra, and Valeria Luiselli. Yet, for many readers, the Latin American novel is often read in a piecemeal manner delinked from the traditions, authors, and social contexts that help explain its evolution. The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel draws literary, historical, and social connections so that readers will come away understanding this literature as a rich and compelling canon. In forty-five chapters by leading and innovative scholars, the Handbook provides a comprehensive introduction, helping readers to see the region's intrinsic heterogeneity--for only with a broader view can one fully appreciate García Márquez or Bolaño. This volume charts the literary tradition of the Latin American novel from its beginnings during colonial times, its development during the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century, and its flourishing from the 1960s onward. Furthermore, the Handbook explores the regions, representations of identity, narrative trends, and authors that make this literature so diverse and fascinating, reflecting on the Latin American novel's position in world literature.

Dans l'Âge de l'Ignorance, aux temps préislamiques, les Arabes comprirent que le langage, comme les nombres, était infini. Les poètes-guerriers du désert, passionnés par les formes, les femmes et le vin, entreprirent alors désespérément de raconter des histoires, toutes les histoires, d'écrire pour fixer le cours du temps. Sept poèmes des plus parfaits furent suspendus à la Pierre Noire de La Mecque. Mais il existe un huitième poème, inconnu jusqu'à ce jour, qui le résume et les contient tous. Il rapporte la quête du héros al-Gatash poursuivant la belle Layla à peine entrevue au campement d'un soir. Au milieu des guerres sans merci, en butte aux maléfices d'une sorcière et à l'obstination d'un redoutable rival ambidextre, il devra tenter de résoudre l'énigme de Qaf pour gagner sa promise. Alberto Mussa réitère dans ce livre ludique le geste antique des Bédouins. Il réinvente la mythologie arabe, les légendes d'Aladin, de Shéhérazade ou même de Pythagore et de Jésus ; tel Borges face à l'infini, il affronte les ruses de la fiction dans un roman d'aventures épiques bâti comme un conte des origines - de la littérature.

The Oxford Handbook of Arab Novelistic Traditions is the most comprehensive treatment of the subject to date. In scope, the book encompasses the genesis of the Arabic novel in the second half of the nineteenth century and its development to the present in every Arabic-speaking country and in Arab immigrant destinations on six continents. Editor Waïl S. Hassan and his contributors describe a novelistic phenomenon which has pre-modern roots, stretching centuries back within the Arabic cultural tradition, and branching outward geographically and linguistically to every Arab country and to Arab writing in many languages around the world. The first of three innovative dimensions of this Handbook consists of examining the ways in which the Arabic novel emerged out of a syncretic merger between Arabic and European forms and techniques, rather than being a simple importation of the latter and rejection of the former, as early critics of the Arabic novel claimed. The second involves mapping the novel geographically as it took root in every Arab country, developing into often distinct though overlapping and interconnected local traditions. Finally, the Handbook concerns the multilingual character of the novel in the Arab world and by Arab immigrants and their descendants around the world, both in Arabic and in at least a dozen other languages. The Oxford Handbook of Arab Novelistic Traditions reflects the current status of research in the broad field of Arab novelistic traditions and signals toward new directions of inquiry.

"In the 1930s, through the prose of Bruno Schulz (1892-1942), the Polish language became the linguistic raw material for a profound exploration of the modern Jewish experience. Rather than turning away from the language like many of his Galician Jewish colleagues who would choose to write in Yiddish, Schulz used the Polish language to explore his own and his generation's relationship to East European Jewish exegetical tradition, and to deepen his reflection on golus or exile as a condition not only of the individual and of the Jewish community, but of language itself, and of matter. Drawing on new archival discoveries, this study explores Schulz's diasporic Jewish modernism as an example of the creative and also transient poetic forms that emerged on formerly Habsburg territory, at the historical juncture between empire and nation-state"--

Arab-Brazilian relations have been largely invisible to area studies and Comparative Literature scholarship. Arab Brazil is the first book of its kind to highlight the representation of Arab and Muslim immigrants in Brazilian literature and popular culture since the early twentieth century, revealing anxieties and contradictions in the country's ideologies of national identity. Author Waïl S. Hassan analyzes these representations in a century of Brazilian novels, short stories, and telenovelas. He shows how the Arab East works paradoxically as a site of otherness (different language, culture, and religion) and solidarity (cultural, historical, demographic, and geopolitical ties). Hassan explores the differences between colonial Orientalism's binary structure of Self/Other, East/West, and colonizer/colonized, on the one hand; and on the other hand Brazilian Orientalism's tertiary structure, which defines the country's identity in relation to both North and East.

Connections between Brazil and the Middle East have a long history, but the importance of these interactions has been heightened in recent years by the rise of Brazil as a champion of the global south, mass mobilizations in the Arab world and South America, and the cultural renaissance of Afro-descendant Muslims and Arab ethnic identities in the Americas. This groundbreaking collection traces the links between these two regions, describes the emergence of new South-South solidarities, and offers new methodologies for the study of transnationalism, global culture, and international relations.
