The poem recounts the perilous journey of the world’s birds to the faraway peaks of Mount Qaf, in search of the mysterious Simurgh, their king. Attar’s beguiling anecdotes and humour intermingle the sublime with the mundane, the spiritual with the worldly, and the religious with the metaphysical. Reflecting the entire evolution of Sufi mystic tradition, Attar’s poem models the soul’s escape from the mind’s rational embrace. Sholeh Wolpé re-creates the beauty of the original Persian in contemporary English verse and poetic prose, capturing for the first time the beauty and timeless wisdom of Attar’s masterpiece for modern readers.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 206mmItem Length: 137mmItem Width: 25mmItem Weight: 282gTranslator: Sholeh WolpéContributor: Sholeh Wolpé (Translated by)Genre: Poetry & DramaAuthor: AttarRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
