ملحمة طرفة بن العبد: شاعر الخمرة والموت المبكر

Ten chapters bring back Tarafah ibn al-Abd, the young poet who recited his Mu'allaqa at Ukaz before he was twenty and paid for his satire with his life. Through youth, pleasure, chivalry, wine and rebellion, it reads his poetry as a last will, and closes with ten sayings.
