Poetics is a poetry first published in 1536 by the classical author Aristotle. Indexed in KitabiHub under Poetry, Drama, History & Biography, Philosophy & Thought, Literary Criticism, Classical Arabic Literature, it sits alongside other poetry on the same shelf.
In this treatise we propose to discuss (1) poetry itself; (2) the various forms it can take; (3) the function and potential possibilities of each form; (4) how the incidents of the plot must be arranged if the poem is to be a good one; (5) the number and kinds of parts various types of poetry may have; and (6) whatever else pertains to the same inquiry.
This page is part of the KitabiHub catalogue of Arabic-language literature. From here you can follow the author link to see Aristotle's full bibliography on the site, jump to any of the categories above to browse adjacent works, or return to the main library to keep exploring. Cover image and bibliographic metadata are sourced from the open catalogues described on our sources page.
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.
