Produktinformasjon

<p><em>The contents of the future are the contents of a cloud.</em></p><p>So begins translator David Larsen’s introduction for the <em>Book of Rain</em> by ancient Arabic linguist and hadith narrator Abu Zayd Sa''id ibn Aws al-An?ari. While far from a definitive list, <em>The Book of Rain</em> is the earliest known catalogue of Arabic weather-words. In Larsen''s translation, Abu Zayd''s lexicography of rain is simultaneously an academic, archival, and poetic pursuit.</p><p>These rich, extensive lists provide detailed descriptions of “The Dribble,” “The Discharge,” “The Flat,” “The Beetle-Brow,” and “The Nebuline”—all specific types of rain—as well as words for frosts, dews, thunder, lightning, clouds, and, of course, the various and plentiful words for waters. Coupled with Larsen’s introduction, <em>The Book of Rain</em> is a source of endless interdisciplinary inquiry which is sure to fascinate readers for years (if not centuries) to come.</p>
