Rumi – Thief of Sleep: 180 Quatrains from the Persian

This book contains 180 translations of Rumi’s short devotional poems, or quatrains. Shiva’s versions are based on his own carefully documented translation of Rumi from the original Persian. Drawing from his study of more than 2000 of Rumi’s poems, the translator has chosen his own favourites, presenting a faithful cross-section of the poet’s many moods – from passion to adoration. The result is a text to delight, intrigue and inspire.
