Al Daheeh

The art of bookmaking among the Arabs (10x56)


Data di messa in onda: Lug 01, 2025

In this episode, we will go back 800 years and talk about a strange man named "Abu Zaid Al-Sarouji", the hero of the book "Maqamat Al-Hariri", who we can consider the most important "superhero in words" in the Arab heritage. We will also see how this book turned from mere written stories into drawn texts, similar to Islamic comic stories drawn by the hands of a genius artist named Al-Wasiti. We delve into amazing details about drawing, colors, design, and even the politics hidden within the images. We will learn about the art of miniatures, the Arab school, and its style of drawing through Al-Wasiti's drawings, and how a great work of art like this was done between a writer and a painter between them over the course of 100 years: Is Abu Zaid really a hero? And we don't get light blood? You will learn all of this and more in an episode that includes literature, art, history, politics,… and something like that in the end: a superhero… but a different kind!
