Tales From Masnavi: Selection of the Most Common Stories of Rumi in Prose (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781636209180)

An Anthology Accessible Modern Translation of Rumi's MasterpieceThe Masnavi by Rumi is, without exaggeration and beyond any doubt, the most comprehensive poetic work of Sufism and one of the greatest literary masterpieces in the world. However, due to its vast volume, diverse mystical themes, and the 13th-century poetic language, the Masnavi can sometimes seem challenging and unfamiliar to contemporary readers and some enthusiasts. Therefore, translating it into modern prose has become an inevitable necessity. Although prose cannot capture all the subtleties and artistic features of the Masnavi, Rumi often intertwines different stories within the main narrative, repeatedly returning to the original story. This book presents the main stories in a coherent and unified structure.
Discover Rumi's wisdom with this accessible, modern prose edition.
