Book Overview

The Singing Caravan: A Sufi Tale is a novel written by Robert Vansittart and first published in 1919. The book is a fictional story that takes place in the Middle East, and it follows the journey of a caravan of travelers who are on a spiritual quest to find the source of the singing they hear in the distance. The travelers are a diverse group, including a Sufi mystic, a young woman seeking enlightenment, and a wealthy merchant who has lost his faith. As they travel through the desert, they encounter various obstacles and challenges, both physical and spiritual, that test their resolve and deepen their understanding of themselves and their place in the world. Along the way, they meet other travelers who share their journey, including a group of dervishes who teach them about the power of music and dance in spiritual practice. The Singing Caravan is a timeless tale of spiritual discovery and the search for meaning in life, and it remains a classic of Sufi literature to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
