THE KASIDAH OF HAJI ABDU EL-YEZDI, SIR RICHARD BURTON , MUKERJI , WILLY POGANY, HARDCOVER , 1931

A mystical and philosophical poem, The Kasidah explores themes like the nature of existence, illusion, the limitations of religious dogma, and the search for truth. Written in the style of Persian poetry, it reflects Burton’s deep knowledge of Islamic culture and Sufi thought. The 1931 edition is beautifully enhanced by Willy Pogány’s evocative illustrations, making it a rare blend of poetic, spiritual, and artistic richness.
