Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur The passionate tale of the world's most beloved scholar, teacher and poet. What torments the souls of men? What would lead a respected scholar and preacher to suddenly lock himself away in a room with a strange man for forty days and nights-and then to spring forth illuminated, dancing, ignited with passion and knowledge? In Rumi, acclaimed writer Nahal Tajadod brings to vivid life this age-old tale of metamorphosis and creative fire. Since the thirteenth century, the story of Rumi and his fifty thousand unforgettable verses has mesmerized the world. Breathing life into the mystical and carnal Orient of old, Tajadod delves into the soul of artistry and, embodying the mind of the great poet, uncovers the divine passion of Rumi's work-and beautifully displays that when the body and soul stop fighting against one another, they burn from the same plane. Revue de presse 'Intriguing... Rumi's life story is fascinating.' --Financial Times 'Tajadod includes a wealth of memorable lines, a banquet of sensual images and a goodly sampling of Rumi's rapturous love poetry.' --Ascent Magazine 'Rumi ... conveys the magic of a teacher and scholar whose passion produced some of the most beautiful poetry ever written.' --Kirkus Reviews Biographie de l'auteur Nahal Tajadod was born in Tehran but has lived in France since 1977. Renowned for her translations of Rumi, she has also published several historical works and two novels. Including Lipsticks and Loopholes in Tehran published 2010.
