Description
The second part of the Czech translation of The Divan of Hafez, this volume again features the translations of Dr. Jar. B. Košut and Jaroslav Vrchlický, with notes by Rudolf Dvořák, a professor and founder of Czech Oriental studies. The work of the Iranian poet Chvádže Šamsuddín Muhammad Háfíz offers a unique insight not only into his poetry but also into the complex and contradictory situation of the Muslim world, where intellectual life is often connected with things that orthodox Islamic theology forbids and calls sinful. Hafez’s poems express this conflict through his praise of drinking and the connection between alcohol and intellectual development. He also sharply criticizes religious hypocrisy and exposes the intellectual limitations of religious fanatics. The contents are in Czech.
