The Ruins of the Heart

Rumi, Edmund Helminski

Western culture has no convenient category for Melvlana Jelaluddin Rumi. In the Islamic world he is held in the highest esteem not only as a literary figure, but as a saint whose personal example inspired the founding of a major religious order, and as a philosopher whose elaboration of the cosmic sense of Love has had a significant cultural impact. — from book’s back cover
