Den syriske poeten Adonis (86), hovedgjest under Æ Å Trondheim Litteraturfestival i mars 2017. Den 86 år gamle forfatteren og poeten Ali Ahmad Said Esber er mannen bak kunstnernavnet Adonis, og han har i hele sin lange karriere stilt spørsmål rundt poesi, politikk og religion. Her i samtale med Litteraturhusets leder Trond Åm bl.a. med utgangspunkt i Adonis`bok «Vold og Islam», som kom på norsk i 2016. En bok han har fått mye oppmerksomhet for, men også har møtt mye motstand mot. Adonis snakket på fransk og brukte tolk. Adonis (Ali Ahmad Said Esber) is a Syrian poet, essayist and translator who is considered one of the most influential and dominant Arab poets of the modern era. Adonis’s publications include twenty volumes of poetry and thirteen of criticism, and dozen books of translation to Arabic. Islamic authorities and scholars have opposed Adonis for his criticism of Islam. Some, such as Egyptian Salafi Mohamad Said Raslan and some faction of the Syrian opposition, issued death threats against him, and some called for his books to be burned. In spite of this opposition, Adonis is a perennial contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature, Adonis has been described as the greatest living poet of the Arab world. Born to a modest Alawite farming family[8] in January 1930, Adonis hails from the village of al-Qassabin near the city of Latakia in western Syria. He was unable to afford formal schooling for most of his childhood, and his early education consisted of learning the Quran in the local kuttab (mosque-affiliated school) and memorizing classical Arabic poetry, to which his father had introduced him. In May 2012, a statement issued on one of the Syrian opposition’s Facebook pages, supporters of the Syrian opposition argued that the literary icon deserved to die on three counts. First, he is Alawite. Second he is also opposed to the Muslim religion. Third, he criticizes the opposition and rejects foreign military intervention in Syria
