«Casida» is the Sufi poem by Sir Richard Burton, published by Editorial Sufí in paperback (119 pages, in Spanish).
Written after Burton's pilgrimage to Mecca, this long poem draws on the didactics of Sufism to inquire into the nature and destiny of man, with images of the desert and the caravan. The author, explorer, anthropologist and translator of Oriental works such as The Thousand and One Nights, reflects here his fascination with the mystical wisdom of Islam.
The work belongs to the Arrayán collection of Editorial Sufí. This Spanish edition, published in 1999, is the first.
Recommended for those interested in Sufism, Islamic mysticism and the figure of the Victorian explorer Richard Burton.
