This translation is pioneering because it is the first more extensive translation from Rumi's Spiritual Masnavi into Polish, made directly from the Persian original, without the mediation of English versions. Thanks to this, the reader has the opportunity to experience the authentic message of Rumi's thoughts and ideas without distortions resulting from multiple translations.

The stories have not been stripped of Rumi's commentaries, they have not been cut down to a neat story that serves entertainment, and its mystical meaning can only be guessed at. In the original, Rumi interweaves the action and dialogues with his explanations, which have been preserved to some extent in this translation. It is these remarks of the inspired sage and intoxicated mystic who looked behind the veil of mystery that give the whole a deeper dimension, show what they were supposed to illustrate, direct us to the author's intentions and allow us to better understand his thoughts.

Rumi, drawing stories from various sources, changed and adapted them to his purposes, constructing a fast-paced and interesting action, creating great dialogues and bringing colorful and believable characters to life. His work is not only a collection of stories, but above all a deep spiritual message that can change the life of anyone who opens up to his wisdom.

Rumi (1207-1273) was the most outstanding Sufi poet, Persian mystic, Islamic theologian and founder of the brotherhood of the "whirling dervishes" (Maulawiyya). His work, full of metaphors and symbols, is an invitation to a spiritual journey into oneself, to discover one's own divinity and unity with the universe.
