5.0 out of 5 stars Most authentic translation of Rumi, June 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Crazy As We Are: Selected Rubais from Divan-Kebir (Paperback)

I found this slim little volume years ago and was so moved by it that I felt compelled to write to the publisher and to the translator. Dr. Ergin, an American surgeon, is also Turkish Sufi, his religion is the center of his life. I admire him greatly and believe that his translation of Rumi is the most accurate and authentic. He fully understands and experiences the spirit of Rumi and makes the ancient verses come alive in the most direct, unadorned way. I hope you treasure this book as I do.
