Description:

The spiritual masterpiece of the Persian Sufi traditionin a brilliant new translation The longest single -authored mystical poem ever written, the Masnavi-ye Manavi, or spiritual couplets, is the masterpiece of the Persian Sufi tradition. Its author, Jalaloddin Rumi, was a poet and mystic of the highest attainment, but he was first and foremost a spiritual teacher, and his Masnaviis a ladder to the spiritual world, leading the reader to the ultimate goal of the Sufi pathunion with God. Alan Williamss translation into blank verse beautifully conveys the poetry of the original Persian couplets, while his introduction discusses how the modern reader might approach Rumis writing.
