Just grabbed this book from my university library. The title is: Among the Dervishes. Its by O. M. Burke. Its a first-hand account of a Westerner's travels through the land of Sufis. The book contains experiences with meeting of Sufis or Dervishes or Mystics of exotic places like, Tunicia, Mecca, Istanbul, Damascus, Basra, Kafiristan. Very much looking forward to dive deep into the book. For quite a long time i haven't picked up a book that i really really enjoyed. I hope its going to be one.
If you have read the book do share your thoughts here also.
Thank you for the book recommendation.
