But it was the sunset of an era - that of the Baghdad Caliphate, the golden age of Islamic culture - crushed by the invasion of Genghis Khan. It was this violence that Rumi shunned his entire life, ever since he fled Balkh with his father as a young boy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eBeloved throughout the world even today, for Kader Abdolah - who grew up with his poems - Rumi is not just a myth, but a kindred spirit: like him an exile, like him an emissary of a culture so ancient that it survives the whims of bloody power. Like him, he found a new life in exile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eAlong the Silk Road, the young Rumi came to know the world: between madrasas and bazaars, he visited Baghdad, Mecca, and Aleppo, learning the Greek of Plato and also Latin. Finally, in his new home in Konya, Turkey, with a wife and children, he discovered love: that of Shams of Tabriz - the 'Sun of Tabriz,' as his name implies - a refuge from an existence of rigid rules and the inspiration for unforgettable poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eLove, pain, flight, the meaning of life, the joy of freedom and instinct: between Persia and the Netherlands, humanity is always in search of a truth that it can only find within itself and express only through literature. Abdolah, an exiled storyteller afflicted by nostalgia, recounts Rumi’s journey like a tale from the \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"323\"\u003eThousand and One Nights\u003c\/i\u003e, adding his own personal versions of over ninety poems and many stories by the great mystic.
