Sis's deeply felt version of the classic twelfth-century Persian epic poem tells the story of a flock of birds in search of the true king, Simorgh, who lives on the mountain of Kaf. Drawn from all species, the flock travels through the seven valleys: quest, love, understanding, detachment, unity, amazement, and death. The birds that endure reach the mountain to learn a profound lesson: that Simorgh the king is, in fact, each of them and all of them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback, 160 pages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stray Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47269573951724,"sku":null,"price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1651\/1201\/files\/The_Conference_of_the_Birds.jpg?v=1792016687","url":"https:\/\/burkemercantile.com\/en-de\/products\/the-conference-of-the-birds","provider":"Burke Mercantile","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
