Viac o knihe

Set in 1201 Mecca, the narrative centers on Shaykh Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi and his profound admiration for Nizám, the daughter of a notable religious figure. Her influence sparks a collection of love poems, culminating in Ibn 'Arabi's celebrated work, Tarjumán al-Aswáq (The Interpreter of Desire). This poetic masterpiece explores themes of love and spirituality, drawing parallels to the inspirational role of Beatrice in Dante's writings.
