Treasury of the Mysteries: Nizami – hinnat ja saatavuus

Treasury of the Mysteries NIZAMI Translation & Introduction Paul Smith "The Makhzanol Asrar (Treasury of the Mysteries), the most beautiful mystic poem in the Persian language, has both perfection of language and grandeur of thought. Every line of his Treasury of the Mysteries is a living witness to his absolute certainty that piety, devotion, humility and self-forgetfulness are the corner stones of total annihilation, which in turn is necessary for unification with God and the foundation of the edifice of eternal life." G. H. Darab. Senior lecturer in Persian. University of London. Paul Smith has kept to the correct rhyme-structure while retaining the meaning and beauty of the original in simple, understandable, poetic English. He has written a long Introduction on the Life of Nizami and chapters on each of his books of poetry. Selected Bibliography. Large Edition 7" x 10" 306 pages.
