Seyyed Hossein Nasr, a renowned contemplative thinker, offers in this collection a literary tribute to the mysticism of Ibn al-Farid, combining the sobriety of verse with a stirring nostalgia. The reader will find a poetic experience that evokes the opalescence of Persian poetry, written with the paradox of expressing the Islamic experience in the English language, now translated into Spanish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe poems in this collection constitute an authentic updating of Sufism, the mystical dimension of Islam. Nasr constructs a work where light and shadow intertwine in a precise verbal geometry, evoking the exquisite Persian poetic tradition. Underlying these verses is a deep nostalgia and the quintessential aroma of that culture, as the author sings of his spiritual experience from the paradox of being a Muslim writing in the language of Shakespeare. The result is sober yet intense poetry that seeks to convey the mystical experience beyond cultural and linguistic borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSufism as a contemporary spiritual path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNostalgia as a driving force for the mystical quest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLight and shadow as metaphors for the divine experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe dialogue between the Persian poetic tradition and the English language\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe expression of Islamic faith in a Western cultural context\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaders interested in mystical and spiritual poetry, especially those seeking a contemporary approach to Sufism.
