The work of Sufi mystic and poet Jalal-ud-Din Rumi has been revered in the East since its creation in the thirteenth century. Now, Western seekers and lovers of poetry are discovering Rumi in unprecedented numbers.
Drawing on two decades of devoted study, mystical scholar Andrew Harvey offers fresh interpretations of more than 250 selections from Rumi's major works: the Discourses, the Diwan, the Mathnawi, the Odes, and the Rubaiyat, as well as excerpts from his letters. Arranged in five sections, these poems, quotations, parables, and discourses create a mystical symphony which mirrors the stages of the spiritual journey into Love.
Thirty-five evocative black-and-white photographs by Eryk Hanut illuminate and visually compliment the text.
