Il existe « un cri du silence » comme il existe des silhouettes sans visage et des visages sans voix. En Afghanistan, depuis longtemps déjà, l’oiseau noir de la peur paraît s’être juché sur l’épaule des femmes. Du monde libre qui est le nôtre, nous les imaginons invisibles et muettes sous la burqa, condamnées à la misogynie aveugle, recluses dans le poing d’une domination archaïque. Pourtant en Afghanistan, comme ici, des femmes lisent et écrivent. Des vers. Des chants. De la poésie. Des mots qui ouvrent en elles, et autour d’elles, un espace de liberté où ce qui est interdit, tabou, bafoué, vient sourdre comme une source à la surface de la terre. Les langues se délient. Les corps parlent. L’âme trouve une voix. Et l’eau de leurs poèmes irrigue le monde d’une espérance que l’on n’attendait plus. Oui, le courage des femmes dévoile ici son vrai visage

"Persian Calligraphy and related traditional arts of books make up the most important forms of Iranian-Islamic art, which are still living practiced traditions up to today. This volume puts together a first-of-a-kind handbook and contains the most important termini technici as well as expressions and techniques connected to the traditional art of Persian calligraphy (mostly Nasta'līq), calligraphy tools such as the reed pen, paper and ink as well as some related fields, like taz̲hīb (illumination), taš'īr (historiated painting), book binding, etc. The content is based on thirty prominent classical Persian treatises, composed between twelfth and twentieth centuries. All terms and expressions are followed by an English description and often accompanied by an illustration. These expressions, which are key to understanding old calligraphic treatises and many relevant sources on Islamic art, are meant to familiarise the reader with both common and forgotten techniques and terminology of calligraphic traditions. The volume addresses not only the artists and scholars of Iranian and Islamic art history, but also those, who have dealt with Islamic and Iranian manuscripts, manuscript cultures, codicology and palaeography. Both the author and the editor of this volume are trained practicing calligraphers and illuminators, who learned the art of calligraphy and illumination through long, traditional study under masters of this art"--

This book offers new insights into the twelfth-century Persian poet Nezami Ganjavi. Challenging the dominant interpretation of Nezami's poetry as the product of mysticism or Islam, this book explores Nezami's literary techniques such as his pictorial allegory and his profound conceptualization of poetry, rhetoric, and eloquence. It employs several theoretical and methodological approaches to clarify the nature of his artistic approach to poetry. Chapters explore Nezami's understanding of rhetoric and literature as Sakhon, his interest in literary genres, the diversity of themes explored in his Five Treasures, the sources of Nezami's creativity, and his literary devices. Exploring themes such as love, religion, science, wine, gender, and philosophy, this study compares Nezami's works to other giants of Persian poetry such as Ferdowsi, Jami, Rudaki, and others. The book argues that Nezami's main concern was to weave poetry rather than to promote any specific ideology.
