Lovers'' Rarities (selections)

In this funny book, the author Ibrahim Habib Zaidan collects stories about love and its companions, under the title "Anecdotes of Lovers." The writer is particularly interested in stories of love and lovers, and he divides them into six chapters. We present selections from them in the following pages. We hope they will be sufficient for the purpose we seek. From the publication of this book, it represents a reminder of major creative tributaries in the Arab heritage, as the author moves between different eras, in which he is stopped by places of love that do not know the difference between a poor man and a man of prestige and power, as both of them become similar when passion knocks on his door and ignites his heart, It pushes him to complain and reveal what is in his heart, and this revelation comes in the form of poems immortalized in history.
