A very good introduction to this branch of Islam that is basically associated with Shia'ism since it's adherents follow the tenets of Ali and the Imams. Sufism is probably the only moderating factor in this otherwise widely misunderstood religion and may be the answer to solving it's centuries long confrontations with other faiths.

Resena: La increible voz de Nusrat Fratch Ali Khan, la extatica danza de los Derviches Girovagos y los embelesantes versos de Jalaluddin Rumi constituyen distintas expresiones del sufismo, que a menudo se ha considerado la tradicion mistica del Islam. Quienes son los sufies? Sin duda alguna, mucho mas que simples misticos. Son los destinatarios del poder que otorgan el Coran y el profeta Mahoma, estan guiados por los santos y maestros y pertenecen a ordenes cuyo ambito de influencia se extiende desde el norte de Cfrica y Turquia hasta la India y el Asia central. Ademas de la oracion y el ayuno, practican diversas tecnicas de meditacion. Asimismo, recitan poesia, interpretan musica y bailan, todo ello con un unico objetivo: la union con Dios, el Divino Amado. Esta completisima introduccion clarifica el concepto de sufismo y analiza sus origenes y evolucion. Por otro lado, el autor aborda un tema esencial: la relacion del sufismo con el mundo islamico, asi como con el fundamentalismo y el secularismo moderno, junto con la apropiacion del sufismo por parte de no musulmanes y el desarrollo de las tradiciones sufies en Occidente.

My only criticism is the structure felt a little sloppy at times, like his train of thought was frequently off the tracks. As readers we've been conditioned to expect (with good reason!) that ideas within a paragraph, for example, will be closely related to each other, and as the author moves from sentence to sentence to develop these ideas, they will flow from one into the other in a logical manner. I frequently found myself re-reading sections of this book because I felt Ernst was just going from one idea to the next – within a paragraph – with very little, if anything, threading them together.
All in all a good book, though, and I'd recommend it to someone interested in a serious but not stilted introduction to Sufism. ( )
