The Sufis

<p>What is Sufism?</p><p>The book follows the Sufi principle of ‘scatter’ in answering this unanswerable question.</p><p>It deliberately shies away from offering an ordered definition.</p><p>Instead it throws out ideas.</p><p>Like fragments of light on dust particles they reveal the shape of something intangible.</p><p>Neither emotionalist nor academic this book offers the closest thing a written work can to an experience of Sufism.</p><p>When it came out in 1964 it was incredibly influential attracting admirers such as Robert Graves (who wrote the introduction) Ted Hughes and Doris Lessing.</p><p>It’s the most important modern book written on Sufism.</p><p>A must-read for any serious student of Sufi thought.</p>
