Acerca de esta escucha

In this follow-up to her acclaimed 2007 novel The Bastard of Istanbul, Turkish author Elif Shafak unfolds two tantalizing parallel narratives---one contemporary and the other set in the 13th century, when Rumi encountered his spiritual mentor, the whirling dervish known as Shams of Tabriz---that together incarnate the poet's timeless message of love.

Ella Rubenstein is 40 years old and unhappily married when she takes a job as a reader for a literary agent. Her first assignment is to read and report on Sweet Blasphemy, a novel written by a man named Aziz Zahara. Ella is mesmerized by his tale of Shams' search for Rumi and the dervish's role in transforming the successful but unhappy cleric into a committed mystic, passionate poet, and advocate of love. She is also taken with Shams's lessons, or rules, which offer insight into an ancient philosophy based on the unity of all people and religions, and the presence of love in each and every one of us. As she reads on, she realizes that Rumi's story mirrors her own and that Zahara---like Shams---has come to set her free.

Reseñas editoriales

Laural Merlington’s talent for vocal transformation makes The Forty Rules of Love: A Novel of Rumi by best-selling Turkish novelist Elif Shafak a spellbinding experience. Merlington deftly and clearly moves between American characters living in Northampton, MA, in 2008 and 13th-century townspeople of Konya, Turkey, giving all depth, emotion, and personality.

The Forty Rules of Love jumps back and forth between the two time periods as Ella, a 40-year-old American housewife and mother of three, begins to wade back into the work force by taking a job reading manuscript submissions for a literary agency. Her first assignment, a story of the relationship between the mysterious 13th-century Sufi, Shams of Tabriz, and the Islamic scholar, Jalal al-Din Rumi (now world renown as the Sufi poet Rumi), becomes the catalyst for changes well beyond Ella’s desire to work outside the home. Ella finds herself drawn to the manuscript’s author, Aziz Zahara, a peripatetic Scottish photographer and Sufi, seeking out the author through email. As the online friendship between Ella and Aziz escalates, the manuscript Aziz has written begins to shake Ella loose from the conventional moorings that she has, for decades, assured herself complete her life.

While Merlington easily gives voice to Ella’s snarky teen-aged children and distant husband, her talents shine as she moves to the book’s characters from 13th-century Turkey. The listening experience borders on magical as Jackal Head, a mercenary assassin, Desert Rose, a young woman forced into prostitution, and Suleiman, the village drunk, share their stories. However, it is the depiction of Shams of Tabriz, a wandering dervish searching the land for his soul’s companion, and Rumi, the scholar blindsided by this itinerant spiritual seeker, that shapes the rich world of The Forty Rules of Love. There is bewilderment in the voice of Jalal al-Din Rumi as he attempts to reconcile his connection to the dervish who has entered the scholar’s well-ordered world. It can be heard in the voice of Shams that he knowingly traverses a deadly path as he expresses his Sufi faith in the ultimate power of love while testing the intransigence and jealousies of Islamist zealots and the scholar’s followers.

The Forty Rules of Love contains not only a book-within-a-book but an introduction to Sufism as well. However, it is the vibrant, talented performance of Laural Merlington that allows the story’s message of love to resonate across centuries. Carole Chouinard

This book is a lot of things to me. A spiritual guide, reminder to keep it simple, an acknowledgement that pain exists and can be useful too. There are manu things that resonated with my deep unnamed feelings , and also few things which I have never felt. I admire Author's writing style, it is simple yet effective. Each chapter is in first person and it felt like each character is talking to me and putting their heart out. Story switches around two perioda in time, and explains the beauty of a Mentor - Mentee relationship; be it Rumi and Shams or Aziz and Ella.Though it is a fiction, it did feel personal. With a touch of spirituality, pain and love, I find this book an interesting read.

a philosophical masterpiece

I chose it because it takes place in part where I used to live, and because of Time as central. it was super predictable but still enjoyable. some good reflections on wisdom. very accessible way to read about Sufism, but pretty romanticized version

enjoyed, but slow to get into it

A fantastic story with meticulous detail!
However some words needed to be pronounced better !
A market place in Persian, Arabic or Turkish language is pronounced bazaar and not bezaar! For example
Overall highly recommended it ❤️

Beautiful!

I enjoyed the novel within a novel concept. I preferred the "Sweet Blasphemy" story more than the surrounding story of Ella the unhappy suburbanite. Ella's character was either no very likable or not developed as well it could have been. On the whole, this was an entertaining way to learn history, which I always love. I knew of the mystic poet Rumi coming into the read, but I didn't know of Shams of Tabriz whom I really liked and subsequently looked up to learn more.

Refreshing lens into Muslim way of life

The story takes you between different timelines and meanwhile allows you to visualize each character from their own perspective. The beautiful story of Shams and Maulana becomes even more enchanting. My hats off to the writer for creating such an amazing and captive treasure. Thank you Elif Shafak. I salute you. Many blessing to you dear.

Simply Magnificent

The narrator is the best I have ever heard yet matching even going beyond the remarkable novel

The narrator is amazing

Don’t listen to this book. Read it. One of the best books I’ve read, but the narrator tries to change her voice for every character and fails miserably. Her Shams sounds like a woman with laryngitis

Narration ruined one of my fav books
