Delicious Laughter: Rambunctious Teaching Stories from the Mathnawi of Jelaluddin Rumi
by Jelaluddin Rumi
On This Page
Description
Whatever human beings do - however compulsive or ludicrous - to Rumi, it affords a glimpse of the inner life. This work reveals the very human properties in Rumi's vision. It includes the notorious 'Latin Parts' that Reynold Nicholson felt were too unseemly to appear in English in his 1920s translation.Tags

I've been reading Rumi so long that most of these stories and poems are now familiar to me. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this as an introduction to Rumi, but anyone just starting to get into him who likes the bawdy stuff would find this a favorite.
