商品簡介
The contents of the future are the contents of a cloud.
So begins translator David Larsen's introduction for the Book of Rain by ancient Arabic linguist and hadith narrator Abū Zayd Sa'īd ibn Aws al-Anșārī. While far from a definitive list, The Book of Rain is the earliest known catalogue of Arabic weather-words. In Larsen's translation, Abū Zayd's lexicography of rain is simultaneously an academic, archival, and poetic pursuit.
These rich, extensive lists provide detailed descriptions of "The Dribble," "The Discharge," "The Flat," "The Beetle-Brow," and "The Nebuline"--all specific types of rain--as well as words for frosts, dews, thunder, lightning, clouds, and, of course, the various and plentiful words for waters. Coupled with Larsen's introduction, The Book of Rain is a source of endless interdisciplinary inquiry which is sure to fascinate readers for years (if not centuries) to come.
