The Forty Rules of Love by internationally acclaimed author Elif Shafak is a profound work of historical fiction that seamlessly blends two parallel narratives—one contemporary, one set in the 13th century—woven together by the transformative power of love and Sufi mysticism. The modern-day story follows Ella Rubenstein, a housewife in Massachusetts whose life changes after she starts reading a manuscript about Rumi and his spiritual teacher, Shams of Tabriz. The ancient story delves deep into the extraordinary friendship between these two Sufi mystics, revealing 40 rules that redefine love, faith, and the meaning of existence. This edition includes a bonus disc (audio or multimedia), enhancing the immersive experience through selected readings or thematic content. Whether you're a seeker, a reader of literary fiction, or a lover of mystic poetry, this book is a soul-stirring journey into the essence of divine love.
