The Drowned Book : Ecstatic and Earthy Reflections of Bahauddin, the Father of Rumi

The Drowned Book
Author(s): Coleman Barks, John Moyne

The Lost Words of the Sufi Master and Father of Rumi

Bahauddin, Rumi's father, was not only a major force in the development of Islamic spirituality, but also a deeply influential force in his son's life. In this, the first ever substantial English version of a wonderful but virtually unknown book, Bahauddin proves to be a daring, spiritual genius. His voice comes through the delightful, passionate craft of Coleman Barks, who transforms the Persian translations of John Moyne into fresh spiritual literature.

Review(s):
“We will return to this extraordinary Sufi book again and again to whet our appetite for yearning, mystery, and grace.”
