Recensione

"Attar's grand allegory for the journey of the soul as it seeks union with the divine has influenced countless artists, poets, mystics, and believers around the world. But never before has it been rendered in English with such beauty, elegance, and precision. Wolpe s translation of this epic is sure to be as timeless as the masterpiece itself." --Reza Aslan, author of Zealot

"PEN chose well when it selected Sholeh Wolpé for the translation grant it has named for the late master translator Michael Heim. In her version, this sly, knowing Sufi classic will surprise and delight a new generation of readers." --Jack Miles, general editor of The Norton Anthology of World Religions
