The book Wisdom of the East: Abu'l Ala The Syrian by Henry Baerlein is a collection of poetry and prose by the Syrian poet Abu'l Ala al-Ma'arri. The book includes translations of some of his most famous works, as well as an introduction to his life and literary career. Abu'l Ala was a blind poet and philosopher who lived in the 10th and 11th centuries in Syria. He was known for his critical thinking and his opposition to religious dogma, which is reflected in his writing. The book is part of the Wisdom of the East series, which aims to introduce readers to the literature and philosophy of the Eastern world. Overall, Wisdom of the East: Abu'l Ala The Syrian is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a brilliant poet and thinker from the Islamic Golden Age.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
