Query: Atrocious

This book is definitely the worst attempt at translating Rumi's work which I have ever come across. It is so bad, it is almost unbelievable. The original Persian poems are edited and twisted to the point of being unrecognisable. Whole lines and segments are left out and only the most obvious (and far too often sugary) choice of words is used for the translation, completely ignoring and/or avoiding the multiple meanings implied in Rumi's original texts. The only good thing that can be said about this book is that it might introduce Rumi to new readers. Best avoid this straight away (try Coleman Barks). Oh yes, and the book has a nice cover!!
