Its author, Jalaloddin Rumi, was a poet and mystic of the highest attainment, but he was first and foremost a spiritual teacher, and his Masnavi is a ladder to the spiritual world, leading the reader to the ultimate goal of the Sufi path-union with God. Alan Williams's translation into blank verse beautifully conveys the poetry of the original Persian couplets, while his introduction discusses how the modern reader might approach Rumi's writing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folded Corner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59484397797662,"sku":"9780140447910","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/4018\/5118\/files\/9780140447910.jpg?v=1781831304","url":"https:\/\/readfoldedcorner.com\/products\/spiritual-verses-penguin-classics","provider":"Folded Corner Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
