From the Publisher
In the mid-thirteenth century, in a dusty marketplace in Konya, Turkey, a city where Muslim, Christian, Hindu, and Buddhist travelers mingled, Jelaluddin Rumi, a popular philosopher and scholar, met Shams of Tabriz, a wandering dervish. Their meeting forever altered the course of Rumi's life and influenced the mystical evolution of the planet. The bond they formed was everlasting - a powerful transcendent friendship that would flow through Rumi as some of the world's best-loved ecstatic poetry. Rumi's passionate, playful poems find and celebrate sacred life in everyday existence. They speak across all traditions, to all peoples, and today his relevance and popularity continue to grow. In The Illuminated Rumi, Coleman Barks, widely regarded as the world's premier translator of Rumi's writings, presents some of his most brilliant work, including many new translations.


I got this from Barnes and Noble...but it hasn't had any good customer reviews...so you might want to give it a good review. It sounds interesting.

Answer 3

Coleman Barks is the leading english translator of Rumi's works. You can usually find his books at your local Barnes and Noble. I know what you mean about liking his works, I read his "Mythical Lover" to my wife on our wedding day.
