Often described as the bible of the Sufis, the "Mathnawi" is a 13th-century mystical poem by Jalalu'l-Din Rumi, the great Persian poet and mystic. Professor Nicholson presents translations of the most important stories from this work, which draws its inspiration from the religious philosophy of the Sufis, and their belief that all things emanate from God and are moving towards ultimate reunion with Him. The tales explore the deep questions of life's meaning and purpose, and the translation aims to preserve the direct semi-colloquial style, the lively dialogue, and the humorous descriptions of human nature in which they abound.
