وصف الكتاب:
نبذة الناشر: Armed with a philosophical hammer, Hassane Mounzer, the rebellious author of "Untamed verses," walks the path of liberation by uncompromisingly destroying all idols, namely what he calls "the doctrines of the cave" and "the teachings of the taboo-promoters". These mummies of the spirit enchant those who vehemently embrace them, and give their life a so-called "higher" meaning and purpose, which nonetheless drips blood – "I saw the darkness; its hands were dripping shadow blood" – Mounzer writes. These idols which reign supreme darken our world, pushing the enlightened poet to the edge of ultimate despair and abysmal emptiness, oscillating between unburdening and emancipation on the one hand, and absolute nihilism and disenchanted existentialism on the other: "What if I drew myself away from life’s holy words that are stranded in skeletons of cultural feats, what if I walked out of my body and watched it disintegrate peacefully and painlessly as I held on to the melodies of the wind?" the author wonders in his spiritual quest. Now that the "Holy ideas" are hammered, destroyed, and left in shambles, and no heaven spared as a warm nest to the higher souls and lofty minds, the poet bravely confronts this horrible, faceless, and godless world, and unfriends a "God who is not godly enough". "Sip your tears and recycle: life is just that," says the nihilist after severing the bond with God, as he finds liberation and finds himself metamorphosed into a "cursed angel or a "baptized devil". Yet the poet overcomes his nihilism by returning to the "platonic baby" in him; that naïve white cloud, that primal note, that song with one vocal cord; by redeeming the pure instinct, that very first cry of wilderness, inside Man, that the "Shush" of the Law has silenced: "Your savior is your wild instinct," Mounzer writes, entreating us to follow his path of liberation through creative destruction. "When God fired a pulse into my body, I knew one syllable, and had the ultimate power of naiveté": with that pulse, God, the Inner God, is also redeemed, for "God must be protected by all means against the blind".
