The Taste of Hidden Things: Images of the Sufi Path
The Taste Of Hidden Things is a portrait of Sufism as a living mystical system. Sara Sviri brings together the wisdom, metaphysical boldness, and lyrical passion of the great Sufi masters, past and present. A special place is given to the 9th century mystic, al-Hakim at-Tirmidhi. Excerpts from his work, including teaching dreams of his wife, are published here for the first time in English. The Taste Of Hidden Things is an important contribution toward an understanding of Sufism.  --Midwest Book Review
