Description
1931 Burton Pogany ART Kasîdah of Hâjî Abdû El-Yezdî Philosophy Sufi Religion
“The Kasîdah of Hâjî Abdû El-Yezdî” is an English poem by Sir Richard Francis Burton, who presents himself as a translator of a nonexistent Persian text. Posing as Hâjî Abdû El-Yezdî, Burton aims to introduce Sufi ideas to the Western world through this pseudo-translation. The work is a spiritual autobiography that delves into the constraints of mans undeveloped reason, egoism, and self-created religions, striving for the realization of individual human destiny. Drawing from varied sources including Confucius, Longfellow, Plato, Aristotle, and Omar Khayyam, the poem offers a rich synthesis of philosophical thought.
This edition features an introduction by Dhan Gopal Murkerji and is illustrated with 12 leaves of plates by the esteemed Willy Pogany.
