Description
The Masnavi, Book One by Jalal al-Din Rumi is a foundational work of Sufi poetry that has been widely recognized as the greatest of its kind. Composed in the thirteenth century, this poem is a collection of stories and homilies that convey the mystic's message of divine love and unity. Drawing from folk tales and sacred history, Rumi's poem is both entertaining and spiritually profound. Jawid Mojaddedi's new verse translation of Book One brings Rumi's most mature mystical teachings to life in simple and attractive rhyming couplets. This translation is consistent with the aims of the original work, providing a clear and accessible introduction to Rumi's unique brand of spirituality. For over 100 years, Oxford World's Classics has made available a wide range of literature from around the globe. This affordable volume reflects the publisher's commitment to scholarship, offering an accurate text, expert introductions, and helpful notes to clarify the text.
