Rumi


Book Description

"This volume of translations of another of the major figures of Persian poetry brings the same qualities of poetic skill and scholarly precision to the task. It traces the changing and sometimes challenging relationship between the scholarly Rumi and the unpredictable dervish Shams, who suddenly appeared in his life, and through it the deepening of Rumi's experience of love and his insight into mysticism. We also get occasional glimpses of Rumi the man and a sense of the times in which he lived. While there exist a number of translations of Rumi's Divan this one manages to create memorable poetry in English while remaining true to the original. There are detailed notes on the poems and a ground-breaking discussion of text and context"--




Divan-I Kabir, Volume I


Book Description

Jalal al-Din Rumi is a unique literary figure. He and his works have been warmly embraced in much of the Muslim world for 800 years, yet Rumi has also become a bestseller in the United States. A plethora of books, from the popular to the academic, have presented him to the English-speaking audience over the last several decades. Ironically, however, no full and original translation of Rumi's magnum opus, the Divan-i Kabir, exists in the English language. This series will present a complete translation of Rumi's Divan based upon one of the earliest, extant manuscripts available, the Konya codex. Translated directly from the original Persian and Arabic, this series will fill a much needed-gap in Rumi studies.
