Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardcover. A fascinating history of the complexities and contradictions of alcohol consumption in the Muslim world, from the founding of the faith to the present day.Islam is the only major world religion that resists the juggernaut of alcohol consumption. In many Islamic countries, alcohol is banned; in others, it plays little role in social life. Yet, Muslims throughout history did drink, often to excess whether sultans and shahs in their palaces, or commoners in taverns run by Jews or Christians.This evocative study delves into drinkings many historic, literary and social manifestations in Islam, going beyond references to hypocrisy or the temptations of forbidden fruit. Rudi Matthee argues that alcohol, through its absence as much as its presence, takes us to the heart of Islam. Exploring the long history of this faith from the eight-century Umayyad dynasty to Erdogans Turkey, and from Islamic Spain to modern Pakistan he unearths a tradition of diversity and multiplicity in which Muslims drank, and found myriad excuses to do so. They celebrated wine and used it as a poetic metaphor, even viewing alcohol as a gift from God the key to unlocking eternal truth.Drawing on a plethora of sources in multiple languages, Matthee presents Islam not as an austere and uncompromising faith, but as a set of beliefs and practices that embrace ambivalence, allowing for ambiguity and even contradiction. A fascinating history of the complexities and contradictions of alcohol consumption in the Muslim world, from the founding of the faith to the present day.
