    About this ebook

    Way of the Animal unveils an enthralling journey into the past, as the timeless wisdom of esteemed scholar Abu Hayyan al-Tawhidi is resurrected through the masterful translation of author Hamshari. Delving into the tenth chapter of the Book of Enjoyment and Bonhomie, this gritty and eloquent work weaves together ancient knowledge, contemporary observations, and custom animal illustrations in an unparalleled exploration of the animal kingdom and beyond. The heart of this extraordinary tale lies in the profound exchanges between Abu Hayyan and the Minister Abu Abdullah al-Arid, their friendship nurtured by the ever-loyal Abu al-Wafa' al-Muhandis. Across thirty-seven nights of intellectual discourse, the foundations of a remarkable legacy were laid, culminating in the birth of his book.

    In the pages of Way of the Animal, Hamshari skillfully restructures and reimagines the original tenth chapter, infusing it with wonderment and reverence for the natural world. The reader embarks on an unforgettable odyssey through time, as ancient records come to life, shedding light on the diverse behaviors and characteristics of animals, plants, and humans. Prepare to be enthralled by a treasure trove of captivating anecdotes, where nature's wonders unfold before your eyes. While the wisdom of the past may not always align with contemporary scientific discoveries, this revelation only adds to the timeless amusement of Way of the Animal. Moreover, this work stands as a profound tribute to the resplendent Arabic language, a passion shared by Abu Hayyan himself, who esteemed it as the pinnacle of human expression. Hamshari's adept translation, thoughtfully elucidated in both Arabic and English, magnifies the brilliance of the original text, enriched with the author's own insights.
