In the tradition of SIDDHARTHA by Hermann Hesse comes a new spiritual novel that is a stunning feat of storytelling and imagination. A Poet of the Invisible World  follows a boy named Nouri, born in thirteenth-century Persia, with four  ears instead of two. Orphaned as an infant, he's taken into a Sufi  order, where he meets an assortment of dervishes and is placed upon a  path toward spiritual awakening. As he stumbles from one painful  experience to the next, he grows into manhood. Each trial he endures  shatters another obstacle within--and leads Nouri on toward  transcendence.
