All rights reserved. Published 1946. Composed and printed by The University of Chicago Press, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. oi.uchicago.edu Preface HE historical and legendary fame of Harun al- Rashld, the most renowned of the caliphs of Bagh­ dad and hero of many an Arabian Nights' tale, has ren­ dered him for centuries a potent attraction for his­ torians, biographers, and litterateurs. Early Moslem historians recognized a measure of political influence exerted on him by his mother Khaizuran and by his wife Zubaidah. His more recent biographers have tended either to exaggerate or to underestimate the role of these royal women, and all have treated them more or less summarily. It seemed, therefore, desirable to break fresh ground in an effort to uncover all the pertinent his­ torical materials on the two queens themselves, in order the better to understand and estimate the nature and the extent of their influence on Harun and on several others of the early cAbbasid caliphs. As the work progressed, first Khaizuran and then Zubaidah emerged from the privacy of the royal harem to the center of the stage of early cAbbasid history.

  • William Ernest Henley - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series William Ernest Henley - poems - Publication Date: 2004 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive William Ernest Henley(1849 - 1902) William Ernest Henley (August 23, 1849 - July 11, 1903) was a British poet, critic and editor. Henley was born in Gloucester and educated at the Crypt Grammar School. The school was a poor relation of the Cathedral School, and Henley indicated its shortcomings in his article (Pall Mall Magazine, Nov. 1900) on T. E. Brown the poet, who was headmaster there for a brief period. Brown's appointment was a stroke of luck for Henley, for whom it represented a first acquaintance with a man of genius. "He was singularly kind to me at a moment when I needed kindness even more than I needed encouragement." Brown did him the essential service of lending him books. Henley was no classical scholar, but his knowledge and love of literature were vital. After suffering tuberculosis as a boy, he found himself, in 1874, aged twenty- five, an inmate of the hospital at Edinburgh. From there he sent to the Cornhill Magazine where he wrote poems in irregular rhythms, describing with poignant force his experiences in hospital. Leslie Stephen, then editor, visited his contributor in hospital and took Robert Louis Stevenson, another recruit of the Cornhill, with him. The meeting between Stevenson and Henley, and the friendship of which it was the beginning, form one of the best-known episodes in English literature (see Stevenson's letter to Mrs Sitwell, Jan. 1875, and Henley's poems "An Apparition" and "Envoy to Charles Baxter").

  • Soviet-Indian Coproductions: Ali Baba As Political Allegory
    Soviet-Indian Coproductions: Ali Baba as Political Allegory by MASHA SALAZKINA Abstract: This essay considers the history of Soviet Indian coproductions focusing on Ali Baba and 40 Thieves (1980) as a political allegory over the fate of the multination state. It addresses the formal utopian character of the fi lm and the excessive threat of sexual violence in the song-and-dance numbers. he subject of this essay is the little studied phenomenon of the Soviet-Indian cinematic coproductions. While giving a general outline of the history of these coproductions, I focus primarily on the most commercially successful of these joint efforts, Ali Baba and 40 Thieves (Alibaba Aur 40 Chor/Priklyucheniya Ali-Baby Ti soroka razboinikov, Latif Faiziyev and Umesh Mehra, 1980), henceforward Alibaba. I argue that the fi lm contains a political allegory expressing anxiety over the fate of the multination state; that anxiety lies beneath the formal utopian character of the fi lm, which attempts to show the constitution of a new community on the screen and to defi ne the role of its political subject in the face of crime and governmental corruption. I will address these issues through discussing the directors’ choice of the material (a story from One Thousand and One Nights, or The Arabian Nights, as it is better known in English); the narrative structure of the fi lm; performance histories of the Indian and Soviet actors; and, fi nally, through a reading of the excessive threat of sexual violence concentrated in the fi lm’s song-and-dance numbers. Alibaba, I con- tend, is of interest not only due to the formal and institutional hybridization of two autonomous cinematic traditions, Indian and Soviet, but also as a cultural object which displays a shared anxiety over the role of the state as its existing political and economic order moves palpably toward the brink of collapse.

  • How Arabs Are Laughably Derided in Animations
    Original Article KOME − An International Journal of Pure Communication Inquiry Cartoonin g Humor: How Arabs Volume 3 Issue 2, p. 64-74. © The Author(s) 2015 are Laughably Derided in Reprints and Permission: [email protected] Animations Published by the Hungarian Communication Studies Association DOI: 10.17646/KOME.2015.25 Mohamed Belamghari Mohammed First University, Morocco Abstract: Some animated movies use humor to capture the full attention of its audience. In so doing, the movie’s messages have become a great concern for many theorists and critics by virtue of the idea that a movie can be a repository of ideologies meant to construct a certain type of easy-going and noncritical audience. This paper, therefore, takes the example of Max Fleischer’s Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba and his Forty Thieves (1937) and Robert Clampett’s Ali Baba Bound (1941) as its case studies aiming at spotting the different manifestations of humor, taking Arabs as its subject-matter, becoming a leaked ideology and taming the discourse that is amplified, manipulated, and delivered to the Western public in unwarrantable ways compared to the imagery of Westerners. Keywords: Passive/silent spectatorship, Humor, Anachronism, Ideology, Stereotypes The bleak visions of quite a few novels of the period are couched in a bitterly irreverent humor that has the capacity to shock readers out of their apathy and self-pity; to produce an angry laughter that is hopefully more productive than despair; to disorient in order to reorient. (Al-Nowaihi 2005: 295) It has often been remarked that part of the philosophy of humor is to draw unexpected results from unexpected situations.

    4. ROCK 2 Yeah, Diamond in the Rough. WHEEZER Gotcha. Wheezer starts walking away only to be stopped by Jafar. The two pantomime a dispute until finally Jafar ushers the unenthusiastic Wheezer back to the cave entrance. WHEEZER (CONT'D) So like “dudes”, I supposed that leaves out liars, cheats, and thieves? ROCK 1 Right on, dude! ROCK 2 Right on! Thunder and rumbling are heard and strobe flashes as rocks sink back down to floor level, then disappear. JAFAR I can’t believe this! I’m never going to get that lamp! WHEEZER So what are we going to do now, boss. We’ve got a big problem... Jafar has been thinking to himself, and now, without looking at Wheezer, slaps one hand over Wheezer’s mouth to shut him up, and begins reasoning things out loud to himself. JAFAR Diamond in the Rough - that can only mean one thing: a common person who has shining qualities within. I must find this Diamond in the Rough if I am ever going to get the magic lamp. Jafar starts to exit off. JAFAR (CONT'D) Come, we must return to the palace. Jafar exits, followed by Wheezer. ACT 1, SCENE 2 Curtain opens on Aladdin’s home. 5. A group of children are playing catch. They range in age from school age up and include the boys Rashid, Abdul,and Malek and the girls Kadri, Coco, and Riaz. Aladdin, a handsome young man, enters from the opposite side of the stage. Ali spies Aladdin coming and beckons to him. RASHID Aladdin! Come play with us! KADRI Yes! Come Aladdin.

  • Cherubini Luigi
    CHERUBINI LUIGI Compositore italiano (Firenze, 14 IX 1760 - Parigi, 15 III 1842) 1 Decimo figlio di Bartolomeo (Firenze 21 X 1726 - 10 IX 1792), sostituto clavicembalista al teatro della Pergola, e di Veridiana Bosi, iniziò lo studio della musica sotto la guida paterna; a nove anni, morta nel frattempo la madre, andò a scuola presso Bartolomeo ed Alessandro Felici, padre e figlio, i quali proprio allora avevano aperto in Firenze una specie di "bottega" per l'insegnamento del contrappunto. Al 1773 risale la prima composizione elencata in quel catalogo di tutte le sue opere che Cherubini istituì più tardi e tenne fedelmente aggiornato sino alla vigilia della morte. Si tratta di una Messa in Re con accompagnamento di strumenti, cui tengono dietro, nel periodo dal 1773 al 1777 due Intermezzi, due Messe, un Oratorio, altra musica sacra e una Cantata. In seguito a questi precoci successi, il granduca Pietro Leopoldo di Lorena concedette a Cherubini una borsa di studio affinché il giovane musicista potesse stabilirsi nella vicina Bologna e frequentare le lezioni di G. Sarti. Il trasferimento a Bologna ebbe luogo nel 1778, ma non durò molto perché Sarti, nel 1779, vinse il concorso per un posto di maestro di cappella nel Duomo di Milano e a Milano portò seco il suo allievo. Qui Cherubini compose altre musiche sacre (che non si trovano più) a titolo di studio; e da Milano, nello stesso anno 1779, si recò ad Alessandria per musicare e far rappresentare in quel teatro, nella stagione della fiera d’autunno, il suo primo melodramma Quinto Fabio. Poi rientrò a Milano, dove nel 1780 scrisse le 6 Sonate per clavicembalo.
