书名：The Masnavi, Book One《玛斯纳维,卷一》

英文简介:Rumi's Masnavi is widely recognized as the greatest Sufi poem ever written, and has been called "the Koran in Persian." The thirteenth-century Muslim mystic Rumi composed his work for the benefit of his disciples in the Sufi order named after him, better known as the whirling dervishes. In order to convey his message of divine love and unity he threaded together entertaining stories and penetrating homilies. Drawing from folk tales as well as sacred history, Rumi's poem is often funny as well as spiritually profound. 

Jawid Mojaddedi's sparkling new verse translation of Book One is consistent with the aims of the original work in presenting Rumi's most mature mystical teachings in simple and attractive rhyming couplets.

中文背景：《玛斯纳维》，全称玛斯纳维·玛纳维（波斯语：مثنوی معنوی，拉丁化：Masnavi-I Ma'navi），波斯著名诗人鲁米（亦作莫拉维）的作品。鲁米的《玛斯纳维》被广泛认为是有史以来最伟大的苏非派诗歌，并被称为“波斯语的可兰经”。13世纪的穆斯林神秘主义者鲁米为他的信徒们的利益而创作了以他命名的苏非派，也就是众所周知的旋转的德维派。为了传达他神圣的爱和团结的信息，他把有趣的故事和贯穿始终的道义串联在一起。鲁米的诗取材于民间传说和神圣的历史，既有趣又深刻。贾维德·莫贾德迪的新诗《第一册》的翻译与原作的目的一致，即用简单而吸引人的押韵对联来呈现鲁米最成熟的神秘教义。
