The Rule of Barbarism: Pirogue Poets Series
- Used Book in Good Condition
Finally available in English, Le RÃ¨gne de la barbarie by Abdellatif LaÃ¢bi is one of the most daring poetic visions of the second half of the twentieth century. First published in 1976 when Laabi was serving an eight-year prison sentence (1972-1980) for â€˜crimes of opinionâ€™ against the Moroccan State, The Rule of Barbarism is a devastating flight through consciousness, acquainting the reader with the trials of a society caught between a colonial past and the tragic realities of a brutal dictatorship. Analysing the presence of â€˜barbarismâ€™ inherent in all of us, and yet deepening our capacity for compassion despite the allure of revenge, this stunning debut from a writer on the threshold of a groundbreaking career can be read as an epic of love, empathy, anger and despairâ€”and is as resonant today as when composed nearly fifty years ago.
