A Writer of Prose & A Writer of Poetry Vol. 3
Dr. Dahesh
$26.00
In this book, Dr. Dahesh rephrases most of what he has written between 1930 and 1950 into octave-rhymed stanzas; then the poet Halim Dammous "being aware," as he says, "of the impact of these inspired words and of the origin of these heart-deep feelings," transposes them from rhymed prose into rhymed verse. In the verse version, the reader finds an almost total faithfulness to the original rhymed prose and at the same time an easy flow of rhythm.
Fleeting Mirages
Dr. Dahesh
$24.00
This book consists of prose and rhymed poems which have some general distinctive characteristics in common with the author’s contemplative and emotive literature. Five major events cast dark shadows over the book: the crucifying persecution against Dr. Dahesh, the death of Dr. Dahesh’s mother, the suicide of Magda Hadad, the second World War, and the assassination of Gandhi, “the prophet of humanity.” However this dark view is counterbalanced with a bright side emanating from poems about love and nature.
The Broken Heart
Dr. Dahesh
$40.00
A collection of prose and rhymed poems that Dr. Dahesh composed during 1934 and 1935. The theme “spiritual alienation” as echoes in most of its subjects: the insignificance and transience of earthly life, the revolt against corrupt practices of this world, the author’s fleeing city life into nature, and his longing to the world of the spirit—the world of knowledge, freedom, and happiness.
A Poet’s Melodies V.4, of Paradises of the Goddesses Set with Sacred Lotus 10 Vols.
Dr. Dahesh
$15.00
A combination of prose and rhymed poems, composed between 1976 and 1980, and covering a wide range of philosophical, descriptive, emotional, prayerful, satirical, fictional, and epigrammatic subjects.
The Lyre of Orpheus
Dr. Dahesh
$24.00
Selections of verse and prose poems with varied rhyme schemes have been gathered from several of Dr. Dahesh’s books. These verses could be remembered long for their sweetness, harmony, repetition of refrains, and musicality unfettered by regular rhyme. ISBN 093535980x
Illusory Hopes V.2, of Paradises of the Goddesses Set with Sacred Lotus 10 Vols.
Dr. Dahesh
$15.00
A combination of prose and rhymed poems, composed between 1976 and 1980, and covering a wide range of philosophical, descriptive, emotional, prayerful, satirical, fictional, and epigrammatic subjects.
The Knell of Sorrows or The Lamentations of Jeremiah
Dr. Dahesh
$15.00
Dr. Dahesh is probably the first writer who rendered in his own style the Lamentations of Jeremiah in the city of Jerusalem after its ruin in the sixth century and the diaspora of its people. His version of the Lamentations stands out for its smoothely running expressions, and profusion of novel imagery which leave a deep impression. No doubt, the comparison between the old and new lamentations is an interesting topic for study.
The question remains: why did Dr. Dahesh recast these Lamentations? One wonders whether he wanted to stress divine justice which he believes in and preaches, or perhaps he had a further purpose—one related to the country which persecuted him.

The Hell of Memories
Dr. Dahesh
$40.00
A collection of prose poems composed between 1936 and 1942, echoing a painful experience that the author mentioned in an earlier book The Broken Heart. This sad experience had created in the poet a long-standing doubt in friendship and women, but it also gave rise to inner sufferings. Moreover, this experience made him lose his faith in innocent love hence his harsh judgments on human nature.
