Annotation:

The three Lebanese writers discussed in this volume- Kahlil Gibran, Ameen Rihani and Mikhail Naimy- all emigrated to the USA early in life. A century on, their words on the need for East and West to come to one another's aid are as salutary as ever. This important book by Professor Aida Imanquliyeva, an Azeri specialist on Arabic literature, was originally published in Russian during the final years of the Soviet Union. It examines the influences of foreign literary movements, such as Romanticism and Realism, upon the three authors: Gibran and Rihani in the light of English poets like Wordsworth, Byron and Shelley, and American writers such as Emerson and Whitman; Naimy through the lens of the Russian Realist tradition, drawing parallels spectifically with the work of Belinsky, Tolstoy, Turgenev and the Chekhovian tradition.
