His works have now earned him international repute and prestigious academic recognition. Themed primarily around a desert context, his novels have been categorized as post-modern, polyphonic, magical or socialist realism, and Sufi fabula. This book takes a close look at one of al-Koni's works - The Bleeding of the Stone- and attempts to prise out philosophical reflections concealed in the text. In it the desert provides a landscape rich in allusions while metaphors allow readers to engage in creative interpretation. This is explored to the full by Meinrad Calleja in The Philosophy of Desert Metaphors in Ibrahim al-Koni - The Bleeding of the Stone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3211239\"\u003eMeinrad Calleja\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Faraxa Publishing (USA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789995702724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 999570272X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PHI\"\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PHI000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faraxa Publishing (USA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44575760351469,"sku":"9789995702724","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_c46bdc45-214d-4011-b8e8-35eab972ab96.jpg?v=1702002025","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-philosophy-of-desert-metaphors-in-ibrahim-al-koni-the-bleeding-of-the-stone-9789995702724","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
