A profound, indepth collection of Rumi's prose and poetryfrom his most celebrated works to his more obscure teachings Jelalludin Rumi (12071273) led the quiet life of an Islamic teacher in the central Anatolia (modern Turkey) until the age of thirtyseven, when he met a wandering dervish named Shams Tabrizthrough whom he encountered the Divine Presence in a way that utterly transformed him. The result of this epiphany was the greatest body of mystical poetry the world has ever seen, and the establishment of a spiritual movement that would eventually stretch from Africa to China, enduring to our own day.This collection of versions of Rumi by Andrew Harvey contains some of the master's most luminous verse, along with selections from his lesserread prose works, with the aim of presenting a balanced view of his teaching that includes both the highflying love of God and the rigorous path of discipline essential for those who seek it.
