From Madonna to Deepak Chopra, celebrities have been recording and embracing Rumi's poetry for the past two decades, creating a resurgence of interest in this 13th century Sufi mystic. Rumi's Little Book of Life is a beautiful collection of 196 poems by Rumi, previously unavailable in English. Translated by native Persian speakers, Maryam Mafi and Azima Melita Kolin, this collection will appeal to Rumi lovers everywhere. This collection of mystical poetry focuses on one of life's core issues: coming to grips with the inner life. During the course of life, each of us is engaged on an inner journey. Rumi's Little Book of Life is a guidebook for that journey. The poetry is a companion for those who consciously enter the inner world to explore the gardens within--out of the everyday "world of dust"--through an ascending hierarchy that restores one's soul to the heart; the heart of the spirit; and in finding spirit, transcending all. Review: A must read this collection of Beloved Rumi - Received quickly and in beautiful condition I love Rumi and this collection is a must read to read over and over throughout the years Review: I ADORE RUMI! - Not enough amazing or beautiful things are said of the wonderful guru rumi. But oh, how I love and admire his work. One of my favorites by him is the guest house. It is, of course in this book! (Page 16!) I bought this book not only because I find his work intriguing and thought provoking, but because I really enjoy reading them outloud to my students at the end of the yoga classes I teach. It's always so wonderful to finish reading some of his work and watch the faces illuminate with understanding. This book is small and can fit in most purses. If you enjoy poetry, or are looking to add to a class, I highly recommend this book. I do not write many book reviews, but just had to let desertcart reviewers/shoppers know that this is worth every penny.

I ADORE RUMI!
Not enough amazing or beautiful things are said of the wonderful guru rumi. But oh, how I love and admire his work. One of my favorites by him is the guest house. It is, of course in this book!

If you enjoy poetry, or are looking to add to a class, I highly recommend this book. I do not write many book reviews, but just had to let Amazon reviewers/shoppers know that this is worth every penny.

Poet of Love
Rumi appears to have found a way to love this life. Reading Rumi took me to a serene garden of reverence for all that is. As I read him, I am mesmerized by this deep appreciation for the sacred depths of existence.

Intense and captivating words
I am not a poetry's books fan at all, however, the other day I was watching a tv show and they quoted one of Rumi's poems and I loved it! So I immediately ordered this book and I started reading it as soon as I received it. Every single poem is beautiful, deep, spiritual, relatable, sensitive, moving, timeless and rhythmical! They say that there's a time for everything and this was the perfect time for me to fall in love with Rumi's poetry!

Calming and Zen.
As a long time Rumi fan, this particular book spoke to my nature loving, gardening, soul, and the cover went straight to my bird loving heart. This is a small book, an easy read, very calming, very zen.

Rumi is my second favorite poet after Robert Frost
I received this book as a gift. Rumi is my second favorite poet after Robert Frost. Rumi's mind and poetry is as fresh in today's world as it was in Persia and the Middle East over eight hundred years ago.i thought the translation was good and easy to understand. I in turn ordered it as a gift and the bookseller in Florida did a superb job of packaging the book and on time delivery.

Wonderful Poems
A short beautiful compendium of Wonderful Persian Poems. I just wish it also had the accompanying text in the original farsi, I would love to be able to read it the way it was meant to be pronounced ( I'm Persian)

Great book to start poetry and the discovery of Rumi's life but it is written more for teens than others.
