Forlagsbeskrivelse af The Masnavi, Book One af Jalal al-Din Rumi
Rumi''s Masnavi is widely recognized as the greatest Sufi poem ever written, and is sometimes called ''the Koran in Persian''. The thirteenth-century Muslim mystic Rumi composed his work for the benefit of his disciples in the Sufi order named after him, better known as the whirling dervishes . In order to convey his message of divine love and unity he threaded together entertaining stories and penetrating homilies. Jawid Mojaddedi''s sparkling new unabridged verse translation of Book One follows the original in presenting Rumi''s most mature mystical teachings in simple and attractive rhyming couplets. ''The pen would smoothly write the things it knewBut when it came to love it split in two,A donkey stuck in mud is logic''s fate -Love''s nature only love can demonstrate.
