The Illuminated Rumi Review: A Superb Coffee Table Book - Some people who are more educated about Rumi complain that the translations by Coleman Barks are not accurate enough. I am no expert on Rumi, and I probably will not become one. I am a casual observer. This book with it's wonderful poems and exotic images is captivating. It is better than I expected, though perhaps less than compelling than Rumi's original words. But then, when any book is translated from one language to another, things are lost. However, I think this is a great introduction to Rumi. The poems in the book seem to be well chosen, and the images in the book are very fascinating. Consider it a beginning -- an introduction to Rumi, and also a book that might compel you to read more books of Rumi's poems. And as a coffee table book, others will pick it up and look. They too might be compelled to learn more about Rumi and his poetry. The poems are inspiring. The illustrations are most creative, and perhaps distracting from the poetry. They attract more attention than the poems. Still, however, the poems are the core of the book, and once you see an image, you'll want to read the poem that inspired it. Most of the experts on Rumi agree that there are better books, but this is a great introduction and it will inspire the curious to read more. This is a worthy hard cover, table top introduction. Buy it! The price is right. The poems are beautifully laid out. The illustrations are very captivating. When I first opened the package and took a glance at it, the only thing that I could say was "Oh my!" I think you'll be delighted with it too. Review: Beautiful art and poems. Great for a gift! - My favorite publication of Rumi poems. Fantastic art accompanying the poems!!! I bought this book several times, sending it as a surprise gift to people I love. They fell in love with it, too! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #52,433 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #20 in Middle Eastern Poetry (Books) #68 in Religious Poetry (Books) #79 in Love Poems | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (426) | | Dimensions | 8.8 x 0.7 x 11.3 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0767900022 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0767900027 | | Item Weight | 1.8 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 128 pages | | Publication date | October 13, 1997 | | Publisher | Broadway Books | ## Images ![The Illuminated Rumi - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91122qo-ggL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Superb Coffee Table Book *by L***7 on March 12, 2011* Some people who are more educated about Rumi complain that the translations by Coleman Barks are not accurate enough.

I bought this book several times, sending it as a surprise gift to people I love. They fell in love with it, too! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So user friendly Rumi with great artwork *by K***N on September 27, 2021* This is a fantastic beginning Rumi book because it has the perfect balance of poems and sayings with background information and history. Top that off with intriguing art images and you have a great Rumi book. I found that if I read and absorbed a few pages at a time I really could wrap my head around what Rumi was saying. I also enjoyed the arch of organization in this book. It felt very transformative for me personally. Also check out the table of contents. You've never seen one quite like this one.
