تحليل مواقف ابي حيان التّوحيدي في كتاب "الامتاع والموانسه" (ومقارنته بغيره من المصادر القديمه والجديده)

Al emta wa al Moanesat is like its name, interesting, and throwing light on Iraq at the second half of fourth century, namely “al Bowayhee age”, that is marked with darkness. This book discusses a lot of social problems, and portrays sovereigns and ministers and their meeting and merits and evils, and portrays the ulema and analyzes their character, and the conversations among them. Aboohayan’s custom in this book, is that “ebn Sadan” asks and “Aboohayan” replies, sometimes making question on him, respiting him until tomorrow or some unknown time, so that he can read and make debate with others to answer him orally or written. “ Ebne sadan” doesn’t confine himself to hearing, rather he partakes in discussion and concurs or refuses. Al emta wa al Moanesat portrays upper classes, how they discuss, think, and portrays this life in a fictional guise divided into nights. But uses less fancy and imagination in comparison to One Thousand and One Night.
