Dumyat al-qaṣr is a poetry first published in 1969 by the mid-20th-century author ʻAlī ibn al-Ḥasan Bākharzī. Indexed in KitabiHub under Poetry, The Arab World, Modern Arabic Fiction, it sits alongside other poetry on the same shelf.
Like much of the Arabic literary tradition, Dumyat al-qaṣr rewards close reading: its rhythms reach back to a thousand years of poetry and rhetoric, while its concerns — exile, memory, the city, the desert, the relationship between the writer and the political moment — speak directly to the present. Readers approaching the book without prior background will find the description above a useful entry point; those already familiar with ʻAlī ibn al-Ḥasan Bākharzī's work will recognise the recurring preoccupations.

If you found this record useful, KitabiHub indexes hundreds more titles across novels, poetry, short fiction, drama, and essays — all originally written in Arabic, all by Arab authors. The catalogue is rebuilt regularly so newly-indexed titles upstream eventually appear here too.
