Book Four","description":"Rumi is the greatest mystic poet to have written in Persian, and the \u003cem\u003eMasnavi\u003c\/em\u003e is his masterpiece. Divided into six books and consisting of some 26,000 verses, the poem was designed to convey a message of divine love and unity to the disciples of Rumi's Sufi order, known today as the Whirling\u003cbr\u003eDervishes. Like the earlier books, Book Four interweaves amusing stories with homilies to instruct pupils in understanding of God's meaning. It has a special focus on the mystical knowledge of the spiritual guide, elaborated through stories such as Solomon's inspiration to the Queen of Sheba, and\u003cbr\u003eanimal fables. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the first ever verse translation of Book Four of the \u003cem\u003eMasnavi\u003c\/em\u003e. It follows the original by presenting Rumi's most mature mystical teachings in simple and attractive rhyming couplets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series: \u003c\/strong\u003eFor over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
