ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Forty Rules of Love" by Elif Shafak intertwines two stories: one set in 13th-century Anatolia, following the mystical journey of Rumi and his transformative relationship with the dervish Shams of Tabriz, and the other in contemporary times, revolving around Ella Rubinstein, a middle-aged housewife who experiences her own spiritual awakening through reading about Rumi. The novel explores themes of love, spirituality, self-discovery, and the quest for inner truth. Through Rumi’s teachings, the book delves into Sufism, emphasizing the transformative power of love as a force that transcends time, culture, and personal boundaries.
