But add images and story, and you have more than enough for a lifetime, an overabundance…an excess of wisdom, beauty, and pleasure. This book will be one of the few I take wherever I go.” —Thomas Moore, author of \u003cem\u003eCare of the Soul\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eOriginal Self\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis richly illustrated collection delivers a fresh and inspiring way to read Rumi’s most intimate poems of love, rage, sadness, joy, and longing. No other edition of Rumi’s poetry combines his singularly passionate words with authentic, rare, and wonderful Sufi and Islamic art. Readers moved by Sappho, Hafiz, Rilke, or by Coleman Barks’ translations of Rumi will relish the beautiful imagery and new translations in this unique volume of some of the finest works by “the most popular poet in America” (\u003cem\u003eTime \u003c\/em\u003emagazine). \u003cbr\u003e | \u003cp\u003eThe bestselling poet in America today, thirteenth-century Sufi mystic Jalalu'ddin Rumi has inspired and enlightened thousands with his playful, passionate work celebrating the sacred in everyday life. Now the spiritual wealth of Rumi's stories and poetry in translation are accompanied by rare and wonderful art in the Sufi tradition. This fresh rendering brings new life to these incomparable parables, which have transcended time, place, culture, and religion to speak directly to the hearts and souls of contemporary readers. With a foreword by Huston Smith, these selections of the inimitable mystic's prose and poetry have been taken from all of the master's works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach parable, such as \u003cem\u003eThe King and the Handmaiden\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Grocer and the Parrot\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Ugly Old Woman\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Man Who Was Always Being Swindled\u003c\/em\u003e, is related as Rumi might have presented it to his fascinated audiences, as he whirled in meditation and trance. But each story also has a spiritual message, a holy essence that applies across all faiths, uttered from the heart of Islam. Each of these messages is provided here in a modern rendering that keeps the flavor of this unique period of history, of culture, and of inspired, passionate beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“The substance and context of the Mathnawi of Rumi are spiritual and metaphysical, while its form is mostly that of parables. This volume adds to the stories a visual dimension, drawn mostly from authentic works of Islamic art.  In this way it enhances accessibility to this unparalleled work of Persian Sufi literature for the many readers sensitive to the visual arts, making it easier for them to delve into that ocean of spirituality for which Rumi is so justly famous.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeyyed Hossein Nasr\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“…exquisitely designed volume… Perhaps the most commendable aspect of The Illustrated Rumi is the Islamic art that provides a luxuriant context for the parables and poems.
