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.
Exploring with Ghazi Brax in The Gardens of the Gods and Paradises of the Goddesses: 20 volumes by Dr. Dahesh
Ghazi Brax
$10.00
It is a critical study of the two series by Dr. Dahesh: Gardens of the Gods Adorned with Roses of Paradise and Paradises of the Goddesses Set with Sacred Lotus. The author presents his critical analysis of the prose poems of this series which extend over a period of half a century. He sheds light in this process on the personality of Dr. Dahesh, revealing his sadness, ambitions, revolt, spiritual alienation, prophetic visions, and his opinions of men and life in general. The author, at the same time, presents the innovative techniques in Dr. Dahesh's artistic style and the different aspects of his creative imagination.

Departing Sails
George Shakkur
$20.00
The author of this book is not a writer, not a poet; it is enough to say about him that he is a human being, that is, a man who tried to chant everlasting sweet sorrows, a man who loved life but only through his great love of Dahesh." This quotation cited from the author's Preface to his book draws for us a clear picture of the whole book. This volume is in the form of prose poems or cantos in which the author addresses his well-beloved Guide, Dr. Dahesh. These cantos are suffused with the fragrance of dreams and shades as well as marked with deep intensity of the feelings of love and longing. The reader would be captivated by the profusion of imagery and its hauntingly rhythmical beauty.
The book has been rendered from French into Arabic by the Poet. Mussa Al-Maalouf.

The Inferno of Dr. Dahesh V.1, a Master Piece!
Dr. Dahesh
$0.00
It is a journey by Dr. Dahesh into 52 lower degrees of hell, "the underworld of eternal gloom," or "the kingdom of darkness." The author depicted scenes of the sinners' suffering and quaking horrors. The book, however, does not confine itself to a description of these sinners, but it reveals the reasons for suffering in hell. In fact, two motives actuate his descriptions: a punitive one with the purpose of deterring men from committing evil, and one of compassion with the purpose of offering them guidance.
Thus, The Inferno of Dr. Dahesh is not only a literary masterpiece but also a moral one; its purpose is to reveal divine justice: the reward or punishment of man according to his deeds.
The book consists of 52 rhymed prose poems of four sestets each. Each poem describes an infernal underworld in a lower degree of hell. Though the allotment of four sestets only to an infernal underworld is a little short, yet each of these sestets is fraught iwth an atmosphere of ghastly dread. Accompanying these poems are two expressive illustrations of each infernal world, which add more to the piled up horrors. Halim Dammous wrote of these poems, saying: "The verse ran like a motion picture of hell in full colors."

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.
