Rumi's 'The Little Book of Life' collects 202 of his most beautiful poems. From Madonna to Deepak Chopra, many celebrities have embraced Rumi's poetry, making this thirteenth-century Sufi mystic popular with a large audience, including in the Netherlands.
One theme recurs again and again in Rumi's work: gaining control over inner life. His poetry is a faithful companion for each of us on the journey inward, in search of hope, light, silence, friendship and love. In this new edition, two hundred poems, largely previously unavailable, have been collected.
The poems in 'The Little Book of Life' were delivered by native Persian speakers Maryam Mafi and Azima Melita Kolin, in a beautiful Dutch translation by Fiep van Bodegom. They cherish the delight that glows quietly in most of Rumi's poetry. It captures our imagination and lets us into the inner sanctum of Rumi's passionate and joyful spirituality.
