review 1: Peter Sis' The Conference of the Birds"Love loves difficult things."Adaptation and allegory. Band of birds. Feathers and flight. Heart of humanity. Journey. Mystery and mysticism. Parables and proverbs energize and permeate the Persian epic poem. Parrots and peacocks and perils. Quest and quietude. Reluctance and resistance and rumination. Sand and sayings of Sufism. Wisdom writings. "The heart here is still and quiet... holding many a mystery.""We are just now at the beginning of our journey."
review 2: I picked this up because it is illustrated by Peter Sis, one of my favorites, but had no idea of content. It is 12th century Persian epic poem. Simple, yet one of the most proufound messages I have heard in years. The illustrations make it a keepsake volume. I... more recommend if for children, adults, spiritual people, athiests, anyone who has a pulse and wants to be inspired by what this journey on earth is all about. BEAUTIFUL! less
