Ghazels From The Divan Of Hafiz (1893) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781166584009)

Ghazels From The Divan Of Hafiz is a collection of poetry written by the Persian poet Hafiz, originally published in 1893. The book contains a selection of ghazals, a form of poetry consisting of rhyming couplets and a refrain, that explore themes of love, spirituality, and mysticism. Hafiz's poetry is known for its lyrical beauty and depth of emotion, and has been highly influential in both Persian and Western literature. The translator, Gertrude Lowthian Bell, was a British writer and archaeologist who was highly respected for her knowledge of Persian language and culture. Her translation of Hafiz's work is considered one of the most accurate and faithful renditions of the poet's work in English. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Persian poetry, mysticism, or the beauty of language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
