This book makes available for the first time in any European language first-hand accounts of Shams that have never been studied by Western scholars. It was Rumi's longing for the lost Shams that made him one of the world's greatest poets, celebrating him as the embodiment of the divine beloved. Then, after three years, he vanished, never to be seen again. Rumi had been a sober scholar, teaching law and theology to a small circle of students, but Shams turned him into a devotee of music, dance, and poetry. Practically every biography highlights his encounter with Shams-i Tabrizi, the wandering mystic who became his beloved companion.
