  Le Mu'allaqat. La tradizione araba è particolarmente legata alla poesia preislamica, ove la narrazione poetica raccoglie i poemi più celebri; poesie tanto belle che si dice fossero destinate alle pareti della Mecca. Mu'allaqat in arabo significa infatti"appese". Tra questi poeti compare Antar Ibn Shaddad, figura epica e cavalleresca  noto ai posteri per la versione romanzata di Antar e Abla. Tra mito e leggenda. Come accadde per moltissimi esponenti della tradizione letteraria del Golfo Persico, ancora una volta poesia, romanzo, mito e leggenda sembrano fondersi in un unico hekayat, in cui i nomi dei protagonisti riecheggiano, sopravvivendo alla clessidra del tempo.

#Shukra jazeelan Qatar!

First of all I want to thank all my international readers and the connections and collaborations which allowed me (even just with a review) to talk about this beautiful country: Qatar.
Collaborations: Dalu team  and #2Qatar book club. 


Since I have created this blog, almost a year is passed and I must say it is a beautiful journey. 

                       Qatar..Qatar.. 🇶🇦

One of my first posts ⬆️ 💗
I never had the chance yet , to visit the country , to see the famous minaret in a beautiful sunny day or Souq Waquif ,visiting Place Vendome ; Lusail Marina and the traditional dhow boats under a starry sky.
But for sure, every journey begins with the heart, before taking a plane, kilometres away. .✈
My thank you to all Oxford university books that I have read which allowed me to have a clear, impartial knowledge about the country; rich of sociological features and historical explanations. 


Like his mythological creature, the nehem
 (the whale shark) showed in
"The dreamers "where the voices of Jungkook and Fahad Al Kubaisi create a perfect harmony and the nehem appears to the world, I am discovering beautiful features rich of culture.


Jungkook, korean artist and performer . Leader of Bts korean musical band. 

Because of  one of the major sport events in the world ⚽️ 🏆
#Qatar Worldcup22, Qatar has arrived to the Western knowledge and it showed us his best feauture: a wonderful hospitality culture.
Thanks to whoever showed part of the ancient roots about Qatari culture during this great event because , looking at the ceremony, (which showed a theatrical performance based on an ancient tale);
 I've found and read the beautiful tale of an ancient qatari manuscript #Calila and Dimna to whom I dedicated one of my first posts. Thanks to the Royal Family 👑 to his dedication and his cultural heritage between past and future. 
That includes my greatest passion: arabian horses! 




Thanks  to  the numerous Katara kiahf festivals year after year,  and the Global Champions Arabian tour.  🐎  🇶🇦

So far from Doha ..but at last aren't we the dreamers? 🌟
#Shukra jazeelan Qatar
