Me and Rumi: The Autobiography of Shams-i Tabrizi, translated and introduced by William C. Chittick, offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the life and teachings of Shams of Tabriz, the spiritual guide and beloved companion of Jalaluddin Rumi. This work presents a translated selection of Shams' discourses from the Maqalat-e Shams, capturing his bold insights, raw spirituality, and uncompromising quest for divine truth. Through these conversations, Shams reveals the intensity of his spiritual relationship with Rumi and sheds light on the mystical transformation that gave birth to some of the most profound poetry in human history. Chittick’s translation is scholarly yet accessible, making this a valuable resource for students of Sufism, Islamic mysticism, and those drawn to the deeper meanings of faith, love, and enlightenment.
