MawlanaJalal al-Din Rumi's poem, the Mathnawi, is one of the best
known and most influential works of Muslim mysticism. Its author
was born in 1207 at Balkh in Central Asia but, as a child
accompanied his father and family to settle in Qonya in Anatolia.
After he had followed his father as a preacher, Rumi's mystical
bent became more pronounced, particularly after the beginnning of
his relationship with the dervish Shams al-Dn of Tabriz which led
to non-conformist behaviour and an outpouring of lyric poetry. Rumi
had his own circle of followers, the origin of the Mevlevi sufi
order, whose whirling dance is said to be inspired by their
Shaikh's own ecstasies.

Begun in 1262 AD, Masnavi-ye Ma 'navi, or 'spiritual couplets', is
thought to be the longest single-authored 'mystical' poem ever
written. As the spiritual masterpiece of the Persian Sufi
tradition, it teaches how to progress to the ultimate goal of the
Sufi path - union with God. Jalaloddin Rumi was a poet and a
mystic, but he was first a teacher; in these verses he draws the
reader into the complexities of human love and separation and
explains the path to divine love through the elimination of
self-regard and worldly desires. Drawing on diverse sources from
bawdy tales and fables to stories of the prophet Mohammed, these
verses are brief in expression yet copious in meaning.
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text
and artwork.
