Syrian Poet Favored to Win Nobel Prize

 

Link to Yahoo! Top Stories - Syrian Poet Favored to Win Nobel Prize

First congratulations to Adonis aka Ali Ahmed Said "believe or not ,it is first time I know his real name"

Second Congratulations to the Syrian People and Syria to have the Nobel Prize

Third congratulations  to the Arabic Poetry fans

Fourth when in hell Yahoo and the associated press are so sad that some Syrian won the prize  !! Really read the link I posted above and you will know what I mean

Just read the first two line in the article

A Syrian poet was favored to win the Nobel Prize in literature Thursday, but the Swedish Academy was offering no clues, and the oddsmakers often prove wrong.

Prove wrong !!??

Why there is underestimation for the man !! Already Nobel Prize in literature always goes to unknown somehow people worldwide despite being famous in their countries who turn to gain world fame ,when people around the world read their works and admire them just like Naguib Mahfouz !!

Well both Associated Press and Yahoo ! are joining the camp against Syria and its people as Syria officially from the axis of evil

to Say the truth I didn't read much of Adonis's poetry like Nizar Qabbani and Mohamed El-Magout but I know he is active Arab intellectual and he is some how from the left wing in the Arab world

The news is so fresh , the BBC Arabic didn't publish yet , Elaph the same thing , filbalad is following the Talaat Sadaat issue more carefully

Anyway for those who don't know Adonis's poetry

here is a short list of some of his famous poems Click here cp.S His poetry is more difficult than Nizar's and El-Magout's

Adonis is a name from a ancient myth imported from Lebanon to Greece check it out here

And some bio information about him in Arabic and English "Sorry for the bad Google translation

Updates :It is a rumor , The winner is not Adonis but some Turk who at last confessed that his country killed the Armenians and the Kurds
