The middle ages saw an extraordinary flowering of Persian poetry. Though translations began appearing in Europe in the nineteenth century these remarkable poets Omar Khayyam Rumi Saadi Sanai Attar Hafiz and Jami are still being discovered in the west. The great medieval Persian poets owe much to the mystical Sufi tradition within Islam which understands life as a journey in search of enlightenment and like their European contemporaries they combine religious and secular themes. While celebrating the beauty of the world in poems about love wine and poetry itself or telling humorous anecdotes of everyday life they use these subjects to symbolize deeper concerns with wisdom mortality salvation and the quest for God. This book has been a classic reference source for long time and its reprint shall be welcomed by the readers. 564 pp.
