A Treasury of Rumi's Wisdom

Muhammad Isa Waley, Jalal Al-Din Rumi

From Shelf: I read poetry now, why not join me?

The version of Rumi that has become known as 'the best-selling poet in North America' is not a true one.

The time has come to reveal more of Rumi than the inaccurate portrayal of a new age guru. With careful selections from his work and accompanying commentaries this book will bring readers closer to his poetry's true, traditional meaning. -- "Everyone has, in their view, become my close friend / but they have not sought out the secrets within me." - Rumi
