This Sudoku book will make an excellent birthday gift for yourself, spouse, friends, parents and grandparents a a present during all holidays, vacations, road trips, or any time you want to relax a bit while excising your brain cells.
Jalal al-Din Rumi is a unique literary figure. He and his works have been warmly embraced in much of the Muslim world for 800 years, yet Rumi has aslo become a bestseller in the United States. A plethora of books, from the popular to the academic, have presented him to the English-speaking audience over the last several decades. Ironically, however, no full and original translation of Rumi's magnum opus, the Divan-i Kabir, exists in the English language. This series will present a complete translation of Rumi's Divan based upon one of the earliest extant manuscripts available, the Konya codex. Translated directly from the original Persian and Arabic, this series will fill a much-needed gap in Rumi studies.

Large Format Edition 7" x 10" 656 pages.Goethe: "In his poetry Hafeez inscribed undeniable truth indelibly He has no peer "Gertrude Bell: "It is as if his mental Eye, endowed with wonderful acuteness of vision, had penetrated into those provinces of thought which we of a later age were destined to inhabit."Meher Baba: "There is no equal to Hafeez in poetry. He was a Perfect Master ... His Divan is the best book in the world because it engenders feelings which ultimately lead to illumination."

DIVAN of NAZIR Translation and Introduction Paul Smith Nazir Akbarabadi (1735-1830) is an Indian poet known as the 'Father of Nazm', who wrote mainly Urdu ghazals and nazms. It is said that Nazir's poetic treasure consisted of about 200,000 couplets but only 6000 remain. The canvas of Nazir's nazms is so vast that it encompasses all aspects of human behaviour and every person can find nazms that can suit his taste. Many of his poems are about daily life and observations of things such as training a young bear or the pleasures of the rainy season, how beauty can fade, the lives of old prostitutes, etc. His poems are loved by ordinary folk today. Many of his poems are spiritual and he is seen as a true Sufi. Bankey Behari: 'He saw the Lord everywhere. His meditations led him to the realization of the Forms of the Lord as well as the Formless Divinity. He sings of Shri Krishna with the greatest fervour as of Hazrat Ali and the Prophet Mohammed, and turns his face if he comes across the pseudo-saints and religious preceptors who are wanting in realization and yet profess it. By far he is best in portraying the heat of his yearning for his vision.' This is by far the largest translation of his poetry into English, with the correct form & meaning. Introduction on his Life, Times & Poetry and on the poetic forms he used. Selected Bibliography. Large Format Paperback 7" x 10" 394 pages.

Le g n ral en chef nous a dit, en nous remettant une croix et quatre m dailles, qu'on lui annon ait l'arriv e de 80 000 hommes, et qu'avec ce renfort, on en finirait avec les Russes. Notre si ge va son petit bonhomme de chemin, clopin-clopant. On boyaute, c'est- -dire que, ne pouvant pas faire grand'chose de bon, on fait quelques boyaux de plus pour nous rapprocher de la place.

Cela prouve une certaine d moralisation dans les id es; il faut qu'une t te solide vienne conduire la besogne. Heureusement, le moral de nos soldats est toute preuve, et le jour o l'on pourra leur faire joindre les Russes, ils prouveront qu'on ne manque, en France, ni de coeur, ni d' nergie. Nos soldats sont r ellement admirables, mais ils voudraient bien voir une fin leurs dangers et leurs souffrances. ...

DIVAN OF LALLESHWARI Translation & Introduction by Paul Smith Lalleshwari (Lalla Ded) is the famous female poet/saint from Kashmir who lived at exactly the same time as Hafiz of Shiraz (1320-1392). Her vakhs (poems/sayings) are sung even today in Kashmir. She was married at a young age but the marriage was a failure and she walked out at the age of twenty-four. She became a disciple of Siddha Srikanth. It must have taken a lot of courage on her part to walk out of a marriage and to walk around unclothed as she did. She was treated with contempt by some and much reverence by others, seeing her as a saint and eventually as God-realized. Her two hundred vakhs are some of the oldest examples of Kashmiri written. She was a bridge between Hindu mysticism and Sufism. Her poems are more influential today than ever, not only in Kashmir but around the world. Here are many of her inspired, powerful poems with correct form and meaning. Introduction on her Life, Times & Poetry. Selected Bibliography, Sufis & Dervishes, Their Art & Use of Poetry.
