The Heart of
Lebanon
 |
The
Heart of Lebanon is a book of unique journeys, a diversity
of poetry, history, and personal narrative presented by
the author who traveled and described the characteristics
of his native country. The Heart of Lebanon is a first-hand
account in which Ameen Rihani wanted the reader to share
with him the joys of experiencing authentic scenes of
Lebanese life.
This
record of different incidents is like a rainbow displaying
the different colors of pleasure and pain, hope and despair,
beauty and homeliness. Rihani registered history, geography,
psychology, sociology, fashion, faith, travel and traditions
which, taken together in an amazingly woven tapestry,
led to further knowledge and better understanding of the
Lebanese character. |
This
valuable and genuine information was made available for all readers
to get an accurate picture of the Lebanon of the first half of
the twentieth century. No book has revealed the conduct, secrets,
and charms of the Lebanese life in its social, cultural, and literary
aspects as thoroughly and beautifully as The Heart of Lebanon.
Comments...:
...Ameen
Rihani in his Lebanese journeys is the inspired poet, the scrutinizing
historian and the sage who draws out the lesson even from the
most trifling issues and events. He is the alert traveler, the
humorous narrator, the lenient critic and the surgeon whose scalpel
is sharp and who shears do not maul or bend but cut clean.

What
Rihani perceived in men, nature and life was beyond the perception
of ordinary people... The author registered history, geography,
psychology, and sociology which, taken together in an amazingly
woven tapestry, let to better understanding of the Lebanese character...
No one has revealed the conduct, secrets, and charms of the Lebanese
life as beautifully as Ameen Rihani.
