Description
From Madonna to Deepak Chopra, celebrities have been recording and embracing Rumi's poetry for the past two decades, creating a resurgence of interest in this 13th century Sufi mystic. Rumi's Little Book of Life is a beautiful collection of 196 poems by Rumi, previously unavailable in English. Translated by native Persian speakers, Maryam Mafi and Azima Melita Kolin, this collection will appeal to Rumi lovers everywhere. This collection of mystical poetry focuses on one of life's core issues: coming to grips with the inner life. During the course of life, each of us is engaged on an inner journey. Rumi's Little Book of Life is a guidebook for that journey. The poetry is a companion for those who consciously enter the inner world to explore the gardens within--out of the everyday "world of dust"--through an ascending hierarchy that restores one's soul to the heart; the heart of the spirit; and in finding spirit, transcending all.

Lovely little book. Lots of Rumi pieces I had not previously read.

Every page a delight to read
This book of poetry is one of the loveliest I have come across. It's language is beautiful and many of the poems are spiritual and touch a spot that most modern verse fails to find.

I‘ve bought this book as a gift ...I did a little bit of research before purchasing and after reading various reviews and opinions about Rumi translations by Colman Bark I decided buy this book translated by Maryam Mafi as I felt her translation would be more authentic as she of Iranian heritage and is a native Persian speaker who has studied literature and has been translating Rumi for over 20 years.The cover of the book is very aesthetically pleasing and as I am a novice to the works of Rumi and the recipient will also be reading his works for the first time I’m hoping this is a good introductory book.

I do not travel without it
Love reading these poems when I am out in nature, travelling, or just need to get myself into a contemplative/meditative state. This book keeps me inspired and makes me feel in touch with something beyond words within my own self.

the translations are great and it is not overpowering
His poetry is fabulous, the translations are great and it is not overpowering. Enjoyable book that sits in my bag and pulled out when I have a bit of spare time.
