Aesthetics of Quran

The text of the Quran is prominent not only for its immunity from the passage of time, but also for its rhetorical power which adds to its miraculous quality and its aesthetic grandeur. What distinguishes the Quran from all other books is that unlike human scripts which reflect the dialogue among the humankind, the Quran portrays the dialogue between man and God, or metaphorically speaking between the heaven and the earth.
This book is a literary and artistic study in which the aesthetic qualities and characteristics of the Quran are discussed in fifteen chapters. The topics introduced in this book include: the background of the aesthetics of the Quran; the language of the Quran from an aesthetic point of view; from word to truth; insertion and omission of the subject in sentences; eloquence and the power of expression; simile and its
importance in the Quran; metaphor and its importance in the Quran; metonymy; aesthetics of the Quran’s metonymic figures; irony in the Quran; rhetorical figures; verses and figures of speech; phonetic figures of speech; and conceptual figures of speech.
