About this book

Fereshte Teyfouri's writings focussing on Sufi
thought and mystical concepts are presented with the
original Persian texts and an English translation to
introduce her poignant view of existence to a wider
audience. The poetic miniatures muse on existentialist
concepts, stemming from the perspective of her life in Iran
and later Germany - and a visceral sense of not
belonging - but with the dilemmas of alienation and
displacement counterbalanced by the sentiments being
expressed using Sufi terms, but sometimes from the
standpoint of inanimate objects: tar, blotting paper, the
cleansing nature of an eraser. Fereshte Teyfouri, lecturer in Persian at the
Westfalische Wilhelms-Universitat, Munster, Persian author
and editor, translator for the German courts. Natalie H. Shokoohy (translator) architectural historian.
