A Lost Sufi: Philosophical Poems
$15.50by Hassan Ajami
This book is a collection of philosophical poems expressing the dilemmas facing a modern Sufi. It conveys different ideas of Sufism, such as the oneness of being and the illusion of the universe. The main character of this book is a lost Sufi who becomes one with everything and hence loses one’s distinctive identity. The Sufi is torn between his or her infinite selves, and lost between the genes of cavemen and memes of modern men. Consequently, the lost Sufi criticizes modernity, and portrays civilization as being based on terror.
