Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The Persian poet Hafez (1320-1389) is celebrated as a Sufi mystic who infused his verses with Sufi elements. His poetry symbolizes God-Realization through union with a Beloved and the experience of spiritual love, often depicted as drinking wine. This compact edition of Hafez's Divan features a facsimile illuminated manuscript, showcasing exquisite Persian calligraphy and miniature illustrations. It includes 43 ghazals translated into English by classical scholar Gertrude Bell, offering a stunning introduction to both Hafez's work and the artistry of Mahmoud Farshchian—essentially presenting two books in one: poetry and art. Hafez is regarded as the preeminent master of Persian poetry, with little known about his life, leading to more legends than facts about his existence. This mythic quality suits him, as he is known as "The Interpreter of Mysteries" and "The Tongue of the Hidden," with his verses considered oracular for those seeking guidance. Only a fraction of his presumed extensive work survives, and this collection is drawn from his Divan, a Sufi classic. The ghazals, sonnet-like arrangements, offer both sensual and mystic interpretations, embodying the essence of Persian poetry and Sufi philosophy. Bell remarked on the timeless nature of Hafez's utterances, highlighting their universal appeal.
