Catalogue Note: A pristine copy of this landmark Penguin Classics edition, which collects the essential verses of the 13th-century Persian mystic, scholar, and founder of the Whirling Dervishes, Jelaluddin Rumi. Translated by the renowned Coleman Barks, this volume is widely considered one of the most accessible and influential gateways into Rumi’s transcendental poetry. It captures the poet's signature blend of exuberant energy, spiritual depth, and natural imagery—from flowers and birds to the stars and rivers—that has resonated across centuries. This unread, untouched copy is a perfect addition for any collection of world classics or spiritual literature. 

Jalal al-Din Rumi was a poet of transcendental power whose verse speaks with the universal voice of the human soul. Selected Poems brings together the most essential writings of this visionary philosopher, exploring profound themes of tolerance, goodness, the experience of the divine, and the transformative power of love. Rich in elemental imagery and boundless passion, these poems remain as vibrant and relevant today as they were in the 13th century. Whether you are seeking spiritual reflection or simply the beauty of masterful verse, this collection provides an enduring and immersive journey through the heart of Sufi mysticism

Condition Description
New A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
