Adonis (poet) — Arabic Wikipedia

The long Arabic Wikipedia article on Adonis; used for entity facts only. It gives his birth on 1 January 1930 at the village of Qassabin and details his life, works and magazines. Its personal-life section carries his self-description as a 'pagan mystic' in translation from the same source carried by the English article (one family, not two). It has sections on his views on Salafi-Wahhabism and on controversies — expulsion from the Arab Writers Union, death threats, calls to burn his books — and attributes no personal religion to him.
