Rumi's Fables


Rumi's Fables


"Rumi�s Fables is a collection of Rumi�s forty-three most magical and charming short stories that will entertain and educate the whole family...




In this book, Rumi�s Fables, over 25,000 lines from the Masnavi, Rumi�s original Persian books, have been translated from Farsi into English. Although Masnavi is a book of devotional poetry, there are many whimsical stories thriving inside the poems. In this collection of short stories the author has hand-picked the most fascinating fables to entertain and challenge younger readers. Rumi�s Fables comes alive with colorful characters�the sage king, the clever clown, and the bewitched prince�and many talking animals�the wise lion, the cunning fox, and the arrogant mouse. Each tale can be read as a simple bedtime story or as a profound and thought-provoking group discussion. At the end of each story there is a �contemplation box� to make the experience more interactive. There is also a summary of the moral of each story. These stories are reminiscent of the style of Aesop�s fables. Readers, young or old, will find themselves in a land of mystery and myth that can transcend an ordinary or even a difficult life. These fables, with their deep and soulful content, communicate a personalized message to the reader."

"Despite the fact that Confucius and Rumi were born in different periods and places, both were born at a time of social upheaval and political turmoil. Consequently, both thinkers tried to provide the means for their people to overcome the times of difficulty, first by understanding, cultivating, and realizing their human potentialities, and then by transforming themselves, their families, and their societies. Interestingly, Rumi and Confucius share more in common than most people would think and their teachings are still meaningful and relevant to the modern world. The wisdom of Confucius and Rumi provides today�s readers with spiritual resources to overcome the challenges of our time and to build bridges of understanding and dialogue among different cultures and civilizations. This paper examines the core ideas of these two great thinkers and provides anthropocosmic insights into their ideas on nature, family and music."
