Extracts from poems - Taken from the Songs of Life Diwân, livre ebook

This book, intended for young people, offers an opening into the poetic world of a young poet who lived a tormented life, whose destiny was ephemeral, and who dreamed of liberty.In it we find his joys, his sadnesses, his meditations and his moments of revolt….We learn of his wonder at the natural world (flowers, birds, the harmonies of the night, gardens and their scents, the magic of the forest…).Abou El Kacem Chebbi was one of Tunisia’s and the Arab world’s greatest modern poets.When we read him we are irresistibly reminded of the French poet Arthur Rimbaud.
