About this title

Synopsis

Delicious Laughter: Rambunctious Teaching Stories from the Mathnawi of Jelaluddin Rumi by Coleman Barks. Maypop,1990

Synopsis

Rowdy, ecstatic, and sometimes stern, these parables reveal new and very human properties in Rumi's vision. Included here are the notorious 'Latin Parts' that Reynold Nicholson felt were too unseemly to appear in English in his 1920s translation. For Rumi, anything that human beings do - however compulsive or ludicrous - affords a glimpse of the inner life.
