A Moth to the Flame: The Life of the Sufi Poet Rumi
By
Connie Zweig
In A Moth to the Flame, the first novel about the life of the Sufi sage and poet Rumi (1207–1273), we discover the key moments that shaped his genius. Although this story happened a long time ago, during another period of war between Islam and the West, this tale of an individual life fully lived is the tale of every life. In the tradition of Siddhartha and The Last Temptation of Christ and based on original sources in both Farsi and English, this is a mythic story of the human soul.
We watch as Rumi’s faiths is tested and witness his meeting with the beloved, which overturned his world and eventually led to his union with God. For centuries Rumi has remained alive in the hearts of millions around the world. As told in this novel, his story inspires us all.
