<p>The ecstatic, spiritual poetry of thirteenth-century Sufi mystic Rumi has enchanted the world, and doubtless its appeal is due to its unique blend of beauty, insight, wit, daring and depth. Coleman Barks, through his musical and magical translations, has been instrumental in bringing this exquisite literature to a remarkably wide range of literary and spiritual readers, lovers, and seekers. With the addition of over eighty never-before-published poems and a new introduction by Barks, The Essential Rumi is clearly the definitive collection of Rumi's delightful poetry.</p>

<p>Al-Hujwīrī came from Ghazna, now in Afghanistan, then the capital of the mighty Ghaznavid Empire. He was a Sufi mystic who travelled widely in the Middle East and Transoxiana. The Kashf al-Maḥjūb was probably written in Lahore, where he is buried, not long before his death in about 1074. One of the oldest Sufi works in Persian, it is a substantial treatise aiming to set forth a complete system of Sufism. This is achieved partly by the discussion of acts and saying of the great figures of the past, partly by discussion of features of doctrine and practice and the examination of the different views adopted by different Sufi schools. It is enlivened by episodes from the author’s own experiences. Originally published in 1911, and reprinted in 1959 and 2000, this paperback edition was prepared in 2014.</p>
