Rumi: Unseen Poems, il secondo volume di Rumi nella serie Everyman Pocket Poet, è un tesoro di poesie mai tradotte prima, ricercate e tradotte dal biografo di Rumi Brad Gooch e dalla scrittrice iraniana Maryam Mortaz. Il poeta persiano del XIII secolo Rumi fu istruito nel sufismo, una tradizione mistica all'interno dell'Islam. Fondò l'Ordine Mevlevi, spesso noto come i Dervisci Rotanti, che usano la danza e la musica come parte della loro devozione spirituale. La sua poesia unisce il sacro e il sensuale, esprimendo sia l'amore divino rapito, sia il doloroso amore umano per il suo compagno e maestro, Shams di Tabriz. È stato a lungo popolare in Occidente, mai più che negli ultimi venticinque anni, quando una nuova ondata di traduzioni libere lo ha presentato a un pubblico sempre più vasto. Tuttavia, alcune di queste recenti traduzioni sono state più nella natura delle interpretazioni di scrittori che non sono madrelingua persiani. I riferimenti culturali e islamici fondamentali per la comprensione della poesia di Rumi sono stati attenuati o omessi. E così vasta era la produzione di Rumi che i primi traduttori eruditi furono costretti a essere selettivi, lasciando una ricca vena di versi ancora inesplorata. Da questo Gooch e Mortaz hanno fatto una selezione di ghazal (brevi poesie liriche) e rubaiyat (quartine), puntando nelle loro traduzioni a raggiungere la fedeltà agli originali pur preservando tutta l'esuberanza lirica di Rumi. Questo libro è un compagno perfetto per il primo volume Everyman di Rumi, che presenta il meglio delle traduzioni del ventesimo secolo.

Rumi (1207-1273) was trained in Sufism--a mystic tradition within Islam--and founded the Sufi order known to us as the Whirling Dervishes, who use dance and music as part of their spiritual devotion. Rumi's poetry has long been popular with contemporary Western audiences because of the way it combines the sacred and the sensual, describing divine love in rapturously human terms. However, a number of Rumi's English translators over the past century were not speakers of Persian and they based their sometimes very free interpretations on earlier translations. With Western audiences in mind, translators also tended to tone down or leave out elements of Persian culture and of Islam in Rumi's work, and hundreds of the prolific poet's works were never made available to English speakers at all. In this new translation -- composed almost entirely of untranslated gems from Rumi's vast ouevre -- Brad Gooch and Maryam Mortaz aim to achieve greater fidelity to the originals while still allowing Rumi's lyric exuberance to shine.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Rumi: Unseen Poems - the second volume of Rumi in the Everyman Pocket Poet series - is a treasury of poems which have never been translated before, researched and translated by Rumi biographer Brad Gooch and the Iranian writer Maryam Mortaz.The thirteenth-century Persian poet Rumi was trained in Sufism, a mystic tradition within Islam. He founded the Mevlevi Order, often known as the Whirling Dervishes, who use dance and music as part of their spiritual devotion. His poetry combines the sacred and the sensual, expressing both rapturous divine love, and aching human love for his companion and teacher, Shams of Tabriz. It has long been popular in the West, never more so than in the last twenty-five years, when a new wave of free translations introduced him to an ever-widening audience. However, some of these recent translations have been more in the nature of interpretations by writers who are not Persian speakers. Cultural and Islamic references central to an understanding of Rumi's poetry have been toned down or omitted. And so vast was Rumi's output that earlier scholarly translators were obliged to be selective, leaving a rich vein of verse still unmined. From this Gooch and Mortaz have made a selection of ghazals (short lyric poems) and rubaiyat (quatrains), aiming in their own translations to achieve fidelity to the originals while preserving all Rumi's lyric exuberance.This book makes a perfect companion to the first Everyman volume of Rumi, which presents the very best of the twentieth-century translations.
