Khalihl Maṭrān

Japanese: ハリール・マトラーン(英語表記)Khalīl Maṭrān
Khalihl Maṭrān
1872‐1949
Arab poet. He is called the "Poet of Two Nations" because he was born in Lebanon and lived most of his life in Cairo, where he died. He fled the Ottoman Turks to France, then to Egypt, where he remained. His poetry shows the influence of French culture, and is freer from poetic form than the poetry of Shawki and Hafez Ibrahim, and he also experimented with narrative poetry. He translated Othello, which was performed by the Georges Abyad company.

アラブの詩人。〈双国の詩人〉という尊称をもつが,それはレバノンで生まれ,人生の大半をカイロで暮らしそこで没したからである。オスマン・トルコの圧政を逃れて渡仏,その後エジプトに渡りそこにとどまった。彼の詩にはフランス文化の影響がみられ,シャウキーやハーフィズ・イブラーヒームの詩に比較して,詩の形式からより解放されていて,物語詩の試みも行った。《オセロー》を翻訳し,ジョルジュ・アブヤド劇団によって上演された。
