No other edition of Rumi's poetry combines his singularly passionate words with authentic, rare, and wonderful Sufi and Islamic art. Readers moved by Sappho, Hafiz, Rilke, or by Coleman Barks' translations of Rumi will relish the beautiful imagery and new translations in this unique volume of some of the finest works by "the most popular poet in America" (<em>Time </em>magazine). <br /><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>The bestselling poet in America today, thirteenth-century Sufi mystic Jalalu'ddin Rumi has inspired and enlightened thousands with his playful, passionate work celebrating the sacred in everyday life. Now the spiritual wealth of Rumi's stories and poetry in translation are accompanied by rare and wonderful art in the Sufi tradition. This fresh rendering brings new life to these incomparable parables, which have transcended time, place, culture, and religion to speak directly to the hearts and souls of contemporary readers. With a foreword by Huston Smith, these selections of the inimitable mystic's prose and poetry have been taken from all of the master's works.</p><p>Each parable, such as <em>The King and the Handmaiden</em>, <em>The Grocer and the Parrot</em>, <em>The Ugly Old Woman</em>, and <em>The Man Who Was Always Being Swindled</em>, is related as Rumi might have presented it to his fascinated audiences, as he whirled in meditation and trance. But each story also has a spiritual message, a holy essence that applies across all faiths, uttered from the heart of Islam. Each of these messages is provided here in a modern rendering that keeps the flavor of this unique period of history, of culture, and of inspired, passionate beauty.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"...exquisitely designed volume... Perhaps the most commendable aspect of The Illustrated Rumi is the Islamic art that provides a luxuriant context for the parables and poems. These designs and plates reveal the truth of the statement from Muslim tradition: 'God is beautiful and He loves beauty.'"--Spirituality&Practice<br><br>"This treasury of wisdom will bring you ecstatic spiritual insights and a profound understanding of yourself and theworld. Keep it by your bedside and read a little bit every day. Enjoy each parable and each verse as you would a gourmet menu."--Dr. Deepak Chopra<br>
