The Invisible Sun by Attar And Sholeh Wolpe [Hardcover]

Twelfth-century Persian poet Attar (1145-1221) was Rumi's teacher and, though his work is beloved around the world, he is mostly unknown to those who read in English.

Translated in simple, elegant language by award-winning poet Sholeh Wolpe, The Invisible Sun widely introduces the work of the mystic who Rumi called 'the spirit' and himself 'its shadow'--to readers as never before. Profound yet exquisite in its simplicity, bringing comfort and wisdom, Attar's poetry continues to resonate today:

Everything, large and small, honours your existence,

don't look at yourself with contempt.

There is nothing greater than you.
