Sobre el autor

Alexander K is fortunate to speak Rumi’s language as his mother tongue—the thirteenth century language of Persia—which enabled him to understand the meaning of the words from a deeper perspective. The author spent thirty-five years examining Rumi’s work, mysticism, Sufism, and philosophy. This helped him to interpret Rumi’s words and provide the true meaning behind them as Rumi originally intended.
