L'interprète des désirs

The interpreter of desires, a work by the great Sufi mystic Ibn Arabi is a collection of poetry and wisdom focused on Love, both a desperate search for the divine Lover and an amorous approach of a woman - in this instance the young Iranian Nizham (Harmony). She symbolises divine wisdom and embodies the Love which sustains the entire universe. A Sufism specialist, Maurice Gloton here presents a complete French translation of the work whose beauty and poetic style he retains along with the infinite richness of its commentary.
