Theirs is a love that lasts a lifetime, and in Nezami’s immortal telling, erotic longing blends with spiritual self-denial in an allegory of Sufi aspiration, as the amenities of civilization give way to the elemental wilderness, desire is sublimated into a mystical renunciation of the physical world, and the soul confronts its essence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a tour de force of Persian literature, in a translation that captures the extraordinary power and virtuosity of the original.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49910738288795,"sku":null,"price":26.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0497\/0561\/5515\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_f53110cb-049f-478f-a5ff-19af2763f6c0.jpg?v=1792786084","url":"https:\/\/www.parastook.com\/products\/layla-and-majnun","provider":"Parastook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
