Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Imprisoned in a tiny cell, this 16th-century mystic wrote his most famous poems on the search for God. Mirabai Starr's acclaimed new translation--the first from a scholar outside the Catholic Church--restores the beauty and candor of the original while offering new relevance for the 21st-century seeker.
