A Sufi Saint of the Twentieth Century: Shaikh Ahmad al-'Alawi (Golden Palm) de Martin Lings
DescripciĆ³n - CrĆticas 'One of the most thorough and intimately engaging books on Sufism to be produced by a Western scholar.'---Journal of Near Eastern Studies.---'A masterly study of a man whose sanctity recalled the golden age of medieval mystics. In this well documented book Dr Lings draws on many rare sources...and has made some important original contributions.'---A. J. Arberry.---'What Martin Lings adds by way of commentary is of the greatest significance and may serve as a key to a deeper understanding of Islam as a whole.'---Titus Burckhardt. ReseƱa del editor 'Almost a prerequisite for any serious study of Sufism in European languages': this was the verdict of Seyyed Hossein Nasr in his review of the first edition of 'A Sufi Saint of the Twentieth Century: Shaikh Ahmad al-Alawi his Spiritual Heritage and Legacy'.---In this work, the author, Dr Martin Lings, presents a vivid picture of the unforgettable figure of the Algerian Shaykh Ahmad al-Alawi through a short biography by his French doctor and the translation of the Shaykh al-Alawi's own autobiography. These are followed by expositions of the Shaykh al-Alawi's teachings which are based on pure metaphysics and gnosis. Finally, Dr Martin Lings translates selections from Shaykh al-Alawi's aphorisms and mystical poetry. The whole work immerses the reader in the world of North African Sufism both as an intellectual tradition and a living reality. BiografĆa del autor Dr Martin Lings (d. 2005), formerly Keeper of Oriental Manuscript at the British Museum and the British Library, is the author of the best-selling title 'Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources', and of 'What is Sufism?', 'The Book of Certainty', 'Sufi Poems: A Mediaeval Anthology', and 'The Holy Qur'an: Translations of Selected Verses', all published by the Islamic Texts Society.
