Book Reviews of Rumi: Fountain of Fire
Book Review: The best translations of Rumi I have ever found.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been searching for a copy of this book for over a year. While Coleman Barks seems to be getting better and better over time, Nader Khalili has arrived. These are wonderful selections, beautifully translated. Nader's style adds a wonderful touch to Rumi's sure words, and the resulting combination is truly inspiring. I can't sing enough praises for this book. Buy it, and help me convince Nader to write more. Anyone have his e-mail address?Book Review: Beautiful and Estatic - One of the Best Translations
Summary: 5 Stars
Of the several dozen books of translations that I have read, Fountain of Fire is one of my most favorites. It is inspiring (isn't all Rumi?), graceful and full of incredible insight. Khalili has created a beautiful work from a divine work. If I were to have only one or two books of Rumi this would be one of them. In fact, my copy is very well worn from travelling around so much with it!Book Review: More than just translations
Summary: 5 Stars
These poems are so poignantly rendered in the English language from the Persian, it's as if Rumi himself had traveled forward in time to rewrite them just for us. You don't have to be a Sufi to appreciate the wisdom of these words, and you don't have to like poetry to find them unbearably beautiful. This is the ultimate gift of love.Book Review: Pure Balm for the restless heart and Soul
Summary: 5 Stars
Magnificient and soul-stirring poetry. The words flow like honey and transpose the heart into a restful state. It seems as if Runi had a direct connection to the glory of God. Sentimental and romantic to say the least. It is as if I was reading words written in gold and diamonds.Book Review: Breathtakingly beautiful and deeply stirring.
Summary: 5 Stars
These translations are the purest and the most inspiring I've seen. Let this be your source of RUMI's teachings as it is mine."Seek not water, seek thirst."--Rumi
