{"product_id":"2940177037103","title":"The Conference of the Birds","description":"\u003ci\u003eConference Of The Birds\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cp\u003eFarid ud-Din Attar was the predecessor of the great Persian  Sufi poet Jalalludin Rumi. They are reputed to have met when Rumi was a  boy. Rumi obviously found much inspiration in Attar and uses the same technique  of weaving wisdom within entertaining and amusing tales.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147119378672,"sku":"2940177037103","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940177037103_p0.jpg?v=1763596391","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940177037103","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
