Book Launch: Towards the Pebbled Shore
Join us for the launch of Towards the Pebbled Shore, a brilliant collection of essays by the eminent scholar Dr. Nomanul Haq. In this remarkable work, Dr. Haq draws on his deep and expansive command of languages, literatures. Traversing Latin, Greek, English, German, Arabic, Persian, Urdu and Sanskrit, his essays trace the movement of words, narratives and ideas across time and geography — challenging entrenched notions of East vs. West and the artificiality of borders.
From Ibn Sina and Firdausi to Goethe and Shakespeare, from Mir, Ghalib and Iqbal to Faiz, Manto, Ahmed Faraz, Iftikhar Arif and Parveen Shakir — this volume offers an illuminating journey through the minds of some of the world’s greatest thinkers and poets. This book invites us to reimagine the interconnectedness of our literary and intellectual heritage.
This session is free and open to all. Just visit the venue to attend it.
