Are they addressed to his mentor, the wandering Shams of Tabriz (who converted him to a life of joy when he was thirty-eight), or to God or to a lover? Reflecting the complexities and paradoxes of love and devotion – separation, cruelty and break-up – they are poems of great power and emotional intensity, of exuberant passion and overflowing imagination. Though seemingly addressed to a lover, in their imagery they encompass the universe and are metaphors of love in its physical form, reinforced by amazing rhythms which echo the dance of the whirling dervishes. Lassaâd Metoui, the renowned Arabic calligrapher, has beautifully captured the atmosphere and movement of the poems in this collection.\u003c\/p\u003e]]]","brand":"Hachette India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53920511721814,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/rumi-essential-rumi-special-calligraphed-collectible-edition-9789350092507","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
