An allegory of the Sufi journey to realization of the nature of God, each bird has a particular signficance, a special fault, and a tale to tell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn spite of its significance for world literature and the study of religion, Attar's poem was not translated in its entirety until the mid-twentieth century, and the standard English translations are hence not in the public domain. However Edward FitzGerald, best known as the translator of The Rubayyat of Omar Khayyam worked on this abridged translation of the Bird Parliament through 1857. It is little known today, primarily because it was only published posthumously (FitzGerald died in 1883), in Letters and Literary Remains, edited by William Aldis Wright, in 1889.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor addition information on publishing your books on iBook,iPhone And iPad please visit www.AppsPublisher.com","brand":"Apps Publisher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078754451696,"sku":"2940012300942","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012300942_p0.jpg?v=1763554411","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012300942","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
