شعر محبوب الخوري الشرتوني: دراسة على ضوء علم المعاني

Abstract

Lebanese poet Mahbub Khuri Al Sharatuni was born in a
village called Shartun (1855 - 1931). He received his primary
education from Al Farir and Karna Shahwan School in his
hometown. Then he graduated from a Science Institute in
Beirut. He started his early career with teaching profession in
many schools. Later on, he served as chief editor in a
newspaper named “Lubnan” published from Ba'bada City. In
1913 he emigrated to the United States and from there he
moved to Mexico and opened his own business. In addition
to business, he got involved in literary practice as well. In
1925 he published a magazine named “Rafiq” by himself. He
became ill while he was in the United States and died shortly
after he had been operated in a hospital. He wrote poems,
essays and stories on many topics such as country, society,
politics and so on. In his poetry, nature, feelings of life,
wisdom, life in exile and Arabism have been sketched
meticulously.
In the following I will try to discuss some of the crucial
factors of semantics that have been reflected in some of his
poems.
