Publisher 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 aslo 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. |
