Muhammad Isa Waley and Jalal al-Din Rumi
There are many sides to Jalal al-Din Rumi, yet the version of him that has become 'the best-selling poet in North America' is not a true one.
This new anthology of Jalal al-Din Rumi's teachings, freshly translated and supplemented with commentaries, aims to bring readers closer to his work's true, traditional meaning and the man himself, and his position as a great Islamic scholar, teacher and saint.
Besides illustrating the traditional basis of Rumi's teachings, this Treasury displays his unique genius as one of the world's greatest religious writers, whose voice speaks as clearly and compellingly today as in the 7th/13th century.
Everyone has, in their view, become my close friend
but they have not sought out the secrets within me.'
Rumi
