The Illustrated Rumi

The poetry of thirteenth-century Persian mystic Jallaludin Rumi has transcended time, place, culture, and religion to speak directly to the hearts and souls of his readers. With his vision of our relationship with God as a path of love, The Illustrated Rumi is an embodiment of the Sufi idea that life is a gift. A beautiful and lavishly designed book that is filled with art dating from the 14th century to modern times and expert renderings of Rumi's longer works and poetry, The Illustrated Rumi is engaging, accessible and exquisite. Philip Dunn and Manuela Dunn Mascetti founded and ran book packagers Labyrinth, and then moved to Mill Valley, California to found Book Laboratory Inc. They have packaged many bestselling books, including Huston Smith's The Illustrated World Religions, Stephen Hawking's The Illustrated Brief History of Time, and Thomas Moore's The Illustrated Care of the Soul. 'One could live a complete life based on the wondrous words of Rumi. But add images and story, and you have more than enough for a lifetime, an overabundance, which is what Rumi is about - an excess of wisdom, beauty, and pleasure.' - Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul
