Produktbeschreibung
Farhat Ahmed Bessrour wrote his first poems --juvenilia -- in French. He also wrote a few in Arabic in his late twenties, but, he reached maturity and found his voice only in English some twenty five years ago. Farhat does not write for the sake of writing; he writes when he feels he has something useful to say, something that might raise awareness, awaken the heart, and refresh the mind. By focusing on those universal concerns of every man and woman, particularly the powerlessness before time, the proximity and inevitability of death; the pettiness and grandeur of man, the search for truth, the futility and worth of living, and owing to his accessible language, his composed voice, Farhat Bessrour managed to convey his vision to all readers in the world and particularly the western reader. Whether you see the world through Christian or Muslim lenses, truth stands out. It is like a glowing, bright star on a moonless night. It towers above race, culture and belief. It is unmistakable. Anyone can see it. Anyone can be touched by it. Pointing Uphill is a hand outstretched and pointing to where all humans strive to be: peace and happiness.
