The Masnavi, Book Two-玛斯纳维,卷二

作者：Jalal al-Din Rumi(鲁米)

书名：The Masnavi, Book Two《玛斯纳维,卷二》

英文简介:The most influential Sufi poem ever written, the six books of the Masnavi are often called "the Qur'an in Persian". Book Two is concerned with the challenges facing the seeker of Sufi enlightenment. In particular it focuses on the struggle against the self, and how to choose the right companions in order to progress along the mystical path. By interweaving amusing stories and profound homilies, Rumi instructs his readers in a style that still speaks directly to them.
Here, Jawid Mojaddedi has translated the text into accessible rhyming couplets, as he did for Oxford's award-winning edition of Book One. This edition--the first ever verse translation of Book Two, and the first translation of any kind for over eighty years--is the closest English speakers can come to understanding the true beauty of this classic work.

中文背景：有史以来最具影响力的苏非派诗歌，马斯纳维的六本书经常被称为“波斯语的古兰经”。第二本书关注的是苏菲启蒙运动寻求者所面临的挑战。特别是它着重于与自我的斗争，以及如何选择正确的同伴，以便沿着神秘的道路前进。通过交织有趣的故事和深刻的说教，鲁米教导他的读者的风格，仍然直接对他们说话。

在这里，JawidMojaddedi把文本翻译成了易于理解的押韵对联，就像他在牛津获奖的第一册中所做的那样。这本书是第二册有史以来的第一次诗句翻译，也是80多年来的第一次任何形式的翻译，是最接近讲英语的人能够理解这部经典作品真正的美。
