COMPLETE LAYLA AND MAJNUN OF NIZAMI (Large Print & Large Format Edition) Translation & Introduction Paul Smith It is impossible to underestimate the effect of Nizami's 'Layla and Majnun' on the world over the past 800 years. Many poets throughout this period have copied or been influenced by his story of the young lovers (including Shakespeare). Many great Sufi Master-Poets have quoted from him or like him have used the story of the desperate lovers to illustrate how human love can be transformed into divine love. It is said that no one has painted a more perfect picture of women in Persian Literature than Nizami. This translation contains the 'Reason for Writing this Book' of the Introduction and ending 'A Prayer for the King and Conclusion of the Book' and so is the most complete in English and has kept to the correct rhyme-structure of this long masnavi epic poem, while retaining the beauty of the poetry, the mystical meaning and simplicity. Included is a long Introduction on his life and chapters on all of the works with examples from them of this great Master/Poet. Selected Bibliography. It is in Large Type 16pt. & Large Format Paperback ... 8 x 10 279 pages. Paul Smith (b.1945) is a poet, author and translator of many books of Sufi poets from the Persian, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, Pashtu and other languages including Hafez, Sadi, Nizami, Rumi, 'Attar, Sana'i, Jahan Khatun, Obeyd Zakani, Mu'in, Amir Khusrau, Nesimi, Kabir, Anvari, Ansari, Jami, Omar Khayyam, Rudaki, Yunus Emre, Lalla Ded, Rahman Baba, Baba Latif, Iqbal, Ghalib, Huma, Nazir and others, and his own poetry, fiction, plays, biographies and screenplays. amazon.com/author/smithpa New Humanity Books
