The Persian Presence in the Islamic World

by
Richard G Hovannisian (Editor), Georges Sabagh (Editor), Ehsan Yarshater
In this volume, distinguished scholars reassess the Persian contribution to the Islamic world. The major essay by Ehsan Yarshater casts fresh light on that role, challenging the view that Islamic culture declined after the ninth century. In fact, he maintains, the adoption of Persian as the medium of literary expression meant that by the sixteenth ...

Mystical Poems of Rumi

Jalal Al Din Rumi, Ehsan Yarshater (Editor), A J Arberry (Translator)
My verse resembles the bread of Egypt - night passes over it, and you cannot eat it any more. Devour it the moment it is fresh, before the dust settles upon it. Its place is the warm climate of the heart; in this world it dies of cold. Like a fish it quivered for an instant on dry land, another moment and you see it is cold. Even if you eat it ...
