For summer 2009, we have three new paperback reprints of Sufi classics:
The Alchemy of Happiness, a practical philosophy of life that takes the saying of Muhammed "He who knows himself knows God" as its starting point in a surprisingly modern meditation on faith and reason.
First Among Sufis, a very readable account of the life and work of Rabia, an extraordinary female Sufi who lived in eighth century Basra.
Yusuf and Zuleikha, a romance hailed in the Koran as "the most beautiful of stories". Jami's classic retelling explores the intimate and many-levelled relationship between love and beauty, and is the most celebrated of his works. This excellent translation has the compulsive readability of a good novel.

We publish works by Doris Lessing, Rumi, Sir Richard Burton, Idries Shah, and many others. Our titles range from the Humanities to Cultural Geography, from Literature to Psychology, to Travel and Philosophy.
