Overview

Shems introduces the reader to Rumi (b. 1207), the famous Sufi whose poetry is perhaps better known today than ever before

In this accessible yet authoritative pocket-sized edition, the author speaks about the famous saying (hadith qudsi) “I was a hidden treasure and I wished to be known so I created man that I may be known,” and explains the life, poetry, thought, and spiritual practice of the originator of the Sufi order famous for the whirling dervishes.

Reviews

"for someone who is new to Rumi, curious about Sufism or simply wishes to take a holiday to Turkey and plans to see the 'whirling dervishes' this book will be a useful little travelling companion." (Amazon review)
