Item description from seller

Paperback. All the birds of the world set out to find their hidden king-and discover something they never expected.Led by the wise hoopoe, the birds of the world set off across seven perilous valleys-Quest, Love, Knowledge, Detachment, Unity, Bewilderment, and Annihilation-in search of the Simurgh, the mysterious king they have never seen. One by one they make their excuses and fall away; and those few who complete the journey find at its end a truth that has made this poem the best-loved allegory of Sufi mysticism.Farid ud-Din Attar wrote his Conference of the Birds in twelfth-century Persia; this English version is Edward FitzGerald's Bird-Parliament, by the translator of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. This Lightbound Library edition presents it behind an original painting by Jessica von Braun, published by Solocosmo Press. Attar's 12th century Persian allegory: the birds of the world set out to find their king, and thirty survive the seven valleys. This item is printed on demand.
