Editorial Reviews

Review
In Thief Of Sleep, Shahram Shiva (who embodies the culture, the wisdom and the history of Sufism in his very genes) brings us the healing experience. I recommend his book to anyone who wishes to remember. This book will help you do that. -- DEEPAK CHOPRA, author of How to Know God

Product Description
This book contains 180 translations of Rumi's short devotional poems, or quatrains. Shiva's versions are based on his own carefully documented translation from the Farsi (Persian), the language in which Rumi wrote.

Drawing from his study of more than 2000 of Rumi's poems, the translator has chosen his own favorites, presenting a faithful cross-section of the poet's many moods3/4from passion to adoration. The result is a text to delight, intrigue and inspire. This volume is excerpted from Shiva's masterwork, Rending the Veil (Hohm Press, 1995).The scholarly nature of his previous book prompted Hohm Press to present this condensed volume in a format that is economical and more accessible to the growing public of Rumi lovers, especially those who demand authentic translations.

5.0 out of 5 stars An ideal introduction for western readers, February 16, 2001
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Enhanced with a foreword by Deepak Chopra, Sharhram Shiva's translation of quatrains from the Persian in Rumi: Thief Of Sleep will prove an ideal introduction for western readers to the inspiring, memorable poetry of Rumi. 1828UT: How long will you think about this painful life?/How long will you think about this harmful world?/The only thing it can take from you is your body./Don't say all this rubbish and stop thinking.
