Adonis

Read the Swedish eminence-grise of knowledge in Middle East culture and literature, Sigrid Kahle, on writings and family of Syrian-born poet Adonis (in French, here in English). The book Kahle writes about, by him and his daughter, can be found here (in Swedish).

Adonis is my personal favourite as a Nobel literature candidate, which he talks about in this interview almost 2 years ago.

Alhambra is Adonis Swedish publisher, with the widest scope in Sweden of publications of classic and modern Arabic literature.
