More DescriptionIt is an astonishing fact that, 800 years after he was born, Rumi is the most popular poet in the United States of America, as he is in Iran and Turkey.His original Sufi philosophy and importance surpass national and ethnic borders.When Rumi died, for the first and only time known in world history, Moslems, Jews and Christians quarrelled over the honour to carry him to his grave.This great man stating in his works that man beyond his common origin is made up by spirit, reason and love.
