He founded the   Mevlevi Order, often known as the Whirling Dervishes, who use dance and music   as part of their spiritual devotion. His poetry combines the sacred and the   sensual, expressing both rapturous divine love, and aching human love for his   companion and teacher, Shams of Tabriz. It has long been popular in the West,   never more so than in the last twenty-five years, when a new wave of free   translations introduced him to an ever-widening audience.  \u003cbr\u003eHowever, some of these recent   translations have been more in the nature of interpretations by writers who   are not Persian speakers. Cultural and Islamic references central to an   understanding of Rumi's poetry have been toned down or omitted. And so vast   was Rumi's output that earlier scholarly translators were obliged to be   selective, leaving a rich vein of verse still unmined. From this Gooch and   Mortaz have made a selection of ghazals (short lyric poems) and rubaiyat   (quatrains), aiming in their own translations to achieve fidelity to the   originals while preserving all Rumi's lyric exuberance.\u003cbr\u003eThis book makes a perfect companion to the   first Everyman volume of Rumi, which presents the very best of the   twentieth-century translations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43205678399666,"sku":"9781841598161","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781841598161.jpg?v=1786027970"},{"product_id":"9780140449532","title":"Selected Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe essential poems of the inspirational thirteenth-century Persian philosopher, scholar and mystic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe founder of the order of the Whirling Dervishes, Rumi was also a poet of transcendental power.

Selections from Rumi’s Little Book of Wisdom: “People always fall in love with what they can’t have. They readily give up their freedom in order to own what they can’t understand; and they never fully appreciate what they’ve rightfully owned from the beginning.”  “There is never a moment when we’re not in love. Every hour there might be a new love: the love of sleep, love of rest, love of the harp, or simply love of beauty. When we feel enveloped by these feelings, we know we’re enveloped by Love.”  “What a shame to finally reach the open sea but settle for a modest jug of water!\"","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57484148343157,"sku":"9781642970258","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781642970258.jpg?v=1786266186"},{"product_id":"love-is-my-savior","title":"Love Is My Savior – The Arabic Poems of Rumi","description":"This new volume of Rumi’s works, the first-ever English translation of his Arabic poems, will be exciting for the newcomer to Rumi’s verses as well as to readers already familiar with his mystical philosophy.

This fresh prose translation of 105 short teaching stories by Rumi, which form the core of the six-volume Masnavi, explores the hidden spiritual aspects of everyday experience. Rumi transforms the seemingly mundane events of daily life into profound Sufi teaching moments. These prose gems open the mystical portal to the world of the ancient mystic.   These stories include well-known and popular tales such as \"Angel of Death,\" \"The Sufi and His Cheating Wife,\" \"Moses and the Shepherd,\" \"Chickpeas,\" and \"The Greek and Chinese Painters\" as well as the less commonly quoted parables: \"The Basket Weaver,\" \"The Mud Eater,\" and \"A Sackful of Pebbles.\"Rumi's voice alternates between playful and authoritative, whether he is telling stories of ordinary lives or inviting the discerning reader to higher levels of introspection and attainment of transcendent values. Mafi's translations delicately reflect the nuances of Rumi's poetry while retaining the positive tone of all of Rumi's writings, as well as the sense of suspense and drama that mark the essence of the Masnavi.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57484360712565,"sku":"9781571747464","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781571747464.jpg?v=1786266426"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-rumi.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
