Svazek obsahuje výbor z díla jedné z nejvýznamnějších osobností íránské kultury 13. století a klasika světového písemnictví. Mimo jiné obsahuje také veršované didaktické bajky a lidové legendy.
Výber z perzskej mystickej poézie. Molana Džalal-oddín Mohammad Balchí prezývaný Rúmí, najvýznamnejší básnik perzsko-islamskej mystiky, sa narodil 30. septembra 1207 v Balchu, stredovekom perzskom Chorasane, jeho otec Baha-oddín Valad bol právnik, uctievaný kazateľ a súfí, starý otec z matkinej strany Hossein bol učenec. Rodina unikla pred inváziou Mongolov a približne v roku 1222 sa usadila v meste Konya v Anatólií ("východnom Ríme" - odtiaľ jeho prezývka Rúmí). Študoval podd otcovým vedením islamské vedy a po jeho smrti pokračoval v otcových šľapajách. Stúpenci ho oslovovali molana (náš pán, náš majster). Jeho život od základov zmenilo stretnutie s potulným dervišom Šamsom z Tabrízu, ktorý ho inšpiroval k básnickej tvorbe.
Přes sto padesát povídek bylo vybráno ze sbírky Masnáwí, základního díla perského myslitele a básníka 13. století, zakladatele řádu tančících dervišů. Tato sbírka byla považována za komentář ke Koránu a brzy se stala zdrojem tradičního muslimského súfijského (mystického) učení. V rozsáhlém Rúmího díle je možné najít úvahy o všem, co se týká člověka a jeho osudu a jeho dílo ovlivnilo celou muslimskou kulturu. Verše Koránu, citáty proroků, přísloví, biblické legendy a příběhy z všedního života inspirovaly Rúmího k tomu, aby definoval súfijské učení jako jeden z pilířů islámské i všeobecně lidské moudrosti.
