The Conference of the Birds Paperback - 1984
by Farid Ud-Din Attar; Afkham Darbandi (Translator); Dick Davis (Translator)
Summary
The acclaimed translation of a magnificent work of Persian poetry—now updated with new material
Composed in the twelfth century in northeastern Iran, Farid Attar’s great mystical poem is among the most significant of all works of Persian literature. A marvelous, allegorical rendering of the Islamic doctrine of Sufism, it describes the pilgrimage of the world’s birds in search of their ideal king, the Simorgh bird, and the arduous journey they take to reach him. This masterly translation preserves the poem’s rhymed couplet form and nuances of language.
