A journey made up of many small stories, created starting from some of the most fascinating Persian tales of the Sufi tradition that intertwine with the stories of the Hasidic tradition (Central-Eastern European Judaism). To recreate the magic of the “One Thousand and One Nights”.

Sufi Tales (RED Edizioni), by Gialàl ad-Din Rumi. Founder of the brotherhood of the “dancing dervishes”, Rumi (1207-1273) is considered by many, throughout the world, the greatest mystical poet of all time. This short text includes a selection of the most surprising prose tales taken from the monumental Masnavi Spirituale. Simple apologues (at least apparently…), perfect, lightning-fast (even Jesus Christ expressed his teachings in parables); fragments of wisdom that Rumi drew from a treasure of universal culture: from the already Hellenic and Christian shores of Anatolia to the distant Asia of the Buddhists and Hindus.
