Ibn Arabi's Small Death

This is the story of Ibn Arabi’s quest for his four Pillars in order to become a Pole (you certainly must be familiar with Sufi terminology in order to appreciate the book). From Andalusia to Fez to Mecca to Damascus, a fascinating trip through space and time and metaphysical insights. The Shaykh is portrayed in his human-all-too-human aspects (his fears, his mistakes, his unfulfilled love affair), which, nevertheless can not overshadow his extraordinary grandeur (Ethos and Gnosis). An exciting novel about a most exciting Man.PS. According to Ibn Arabi himself, “every love is a small death”.
