What is Between Quran and Kafka : West-Eastern Affinities about?

What Connects Shiite Passion Plays With Brecht's Drama? Which Of Goethe's Poems Were Inspired By The Quran? How Can Ibn Arabi's Theology Of Sighs Explain The Plays Of Heinrich Von Kleist? And Why Did The Persian Author Sadeq Hedayat Identify With The Prague Jew Franz Kafka? One Who Knows Himself And Others Will Here Too Understand: Orient And Occident Are No Longer Separable: In This New Book, The Critically Acclaimed Author And Scholar Navid Kermani Takes Goethe At His Word. He Reads The Quran As A Poetic Text, Opens Eastern Literature To Western Readers, Unveils The Mystical Dimension In The Works Of Goethe And Kleist, And Deciphers The Political Implications Of Theatre, From Shakespeare To Lessing To Brecht. Drawing Striking Comparisons Between A Diverse Range Of Literary Traditions And Cultures, Kermani Argues For A Literary Cosmopolitanism That Is Opposed To All Those Who Would Play Religions And Cultures Against One Another, Isolating Them By Force From One Another. Between Quran And Kafka Concludes With Kermani's Speech On Receiving Germany S Highest Literary Prize, An Impassioned Plea For Greater Fraternity When Confronted With The Tyranny And Terrorism Of Islamic State. 0k
