Conference Of The Birds is one of the great works of world
literature. In this new reissue of C. S. Nott's classic prose translation,
this epic poem explores the nature of the spiritual path through an allegory
of the brave birds who go in search of their king through the valleys of
exultation and despair that represent the stages of the seeker as he travels
toward enlightenment. Interspersed throughout their journey are timeless
tales of prophets and kings, saints and sinners, lovers and scoundrels.
