The Masnavi 's new English translation is the publishing event of the year. At the hands of Alan Williams, Rumi's "cumulative polyphony" resembles a Shakespeare play where the poet speaks 'in one character after another . . .' This monumental poem's opening couplet, among the most captivating ever written, fills my heart with sadness every time I read it: "Listen to this reed as it is grieving, / it tells the story of our separations". Who could stop listening to this music after hearing these first notes?, 'This new verse translation of the Masnavi , the mystical masterpiece of the greatest and best-loved of Persian poets, Jalaloddin Rumi, is a literary event of the first importance. Alan Williams has made it his principal life's work to present the profound spirituality of this towering poet of peerless spiritual and psychological insight - a poet for the ages and for all people - in a form that is accessible to readers of today.', "'This new verse translation of the Masnavi , the mystical masterpiece of the greatest and best-loved of Persian poets, Jalaloddin Rumi, is a literary event of the first importance.

In Alan Williams' English translation of the Spiritual Couplets , we finally stand a chance not only to access that vision in all its inner glory and eternal grandeur, but ultimately to gain an immediate sense of its graceful relevance not just to our time but to all of humanity through the millennia." -- Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak, author of Recasting Persian Poetry "Alan Williams brings us an English version of that epic spiritual masterpiece which is both reliable and fluently readable. The Introduction provides an indispensable key to the Masnavi 's sudden, bewildering shifts between multiple dramatic voices and perspectives, the distinctive feature which makes this poem, for every reader, "the mirror of our innermost state."" -- Professor James W. Morris, Boston College, USA "While maintaining the Persian flavour of Rumi's epic and lyric virtuosities, this superior translation by Alan Williams brings Rumi fully to life in English.

Synopsis
Jalaloddin Rumi's Masnavi-ye Ma'navi , or 'Spiritual Couplets', composed in the 13th Century, is a monumental work of poetry in the Sufi tradition of Islamic mysticism. For centuries before his love poetry became a literary phenomenon in the West, Rumi's Masnavi had been revered in the Islamic world as its greatest mystical text. Drawing upon a vast array of characters, stories and fables, and deeply versed in spiritual teaching, it takes us on a profound and playful journey of discovery along the path of divine love, toward its ultimate goal of union with the source of all Truth. In Book 1 of the Masnavi , the first of six volumes, Rumi opens the spiritual path towards higher spiritual understanding. Alan Williams's authoritative new translation is rendered in highly readable blank verse and includes the original Persian text for reference, and with explanatory notes along the way. True to the spirit of Rumi's poem, this new translation establishes the Masnavi as one of the world's great literary achievements for a global readership. Translated with an introduction, notes and analysis by Alan Williams and including the Persian text edited by Mohammad Este'lami., Jalaloddin Rumi's Masnavi-ye Ma'navi , or 'Spiritual Couplets', composed in the 13th century AD, is a monumental work of poetry in the Sufi tradition of Islamic mysticism. Long before his love poetry became a literary phenomenon in the West, Rumi's Masnavi has been revered in the Islamic world. Drawing upon a vast array of characters, tales and fables, and deeply versed in religious teaching, it takes us on a rich, profound and playful journey along the Sufi path of divine love, toward its ultimate goal of union with God. In Book 1 of the Masnavi , the first of six volumes, Rumi explores the lower, carnal self which must be resisted if one is to attain a higher spiritual understanding. Adam William's authoritative new translation is rendered in highly readable blank verse and includes the original Persian text for reference. True to the spirit of Rumi's poem, this new translation establishes the Masnavi as one of the world's great literary achievements for a global readership.
