Hafez is among the most celebrated of Persian mystic poets,
thriving alongside such towering figures as Rumi and Saadi.
Ubiquitous in Iran, he has also been hugely influential in the
West. Interpreted variously as ardent mystic and lover, he fuses
earthly and divine love with an intense constancy as momentously
productive as Dante's courtly adoration for Beatrice. Across
intimidating obstacles of time and culture, Beloved delivers an
accessible yet authentic modern rendering of the Persian originals.
Few translations of Hafez have matched his beauty, musicality and
rich complexity. Combining vigour with ingenuity, Mario Petrucci
reanimates for the English reader all of the moral clarity and
sensual abundance of a spiritual and literary master. 'Petrucci's
adaptations are a delight to read. They are fresh, candid, subtly
humorous, and elegant. They have that audacious and multilayered
richness one finds in the originals. Above all, they are
uncompromising.' - Fatemeh Keshavarz, Director and Chair, Roshan
Institute for Persian Studies, University of Maryland 'Mario
Petrucci's new versions of Hafez are nuanced and thoughtful,
embracing both the depth and the beauty of the original.' - Sasha
Dugdale, Editor, Modern Poetry in Translation 'Petrucci bases his
engagement with Hafez on a special awareness... Everywhere, his
delicate but probing selection of word and phrase uplifts and
inspires.' - Michael Hakuzan Wenninger, Zen monk
