Rumi: Tales to Live By [Paperback] [Aug 15, 2017]… di Kamla K. Kapur
At this point I guess it is safe to say that I am one of the admirers of Rumi. However, I have not read his work. Ok this may be weird to say… admiring Rumi without having read any of his writings. But books such as this one make it possible. Along with other books I have read such as “The Forty Rules of Love” & “Rumi’s daughter”.
I enjoyed learning about several Hindu deities and the Hindu view of creation and reality.
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.I received this book a long time ago from librarything . It is difficult to read because there are many stories and many characters so you lost the way a lot . the style is typical of indian writers with many teferences to indian language. It reminds me the book of the thousand nights and one night
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.I received an electronic version of this book through the LibraryThing Early Reviewers scheme. I must apologize for not writing the review sooner, and have to admit that I did not read the whole book - it is too dense to read on-screen, and there are too many pages to print out. So my impressions here are from my reading of the introduction and Chapter 1, and from scanning through the rest.
The book is tastefully and elegantly produced with an attractive typeface and black-and-white line illustrations, with ornaments that give it an Indian feel. There are many footnotes and a bibliography. The language flows smoothly and easily, and I think the book would appeal to anyone interested in Indian history, religions, mythology and legends. If I had it as a real, printed volume, I'd probably read it from cover to cover.… (altro)
