Considered by Rumi to be "the master" of Sufi mystic poetry, Attar is best known for this epic poem, a magnificent allegorical tale about the soul's search for meaning. He recounts the perilous journey of the world's birds to the faraway peaks of Mount Qaf in search of the mysterious Simorgh, their king. Attar's beguiling anecdotes and humor intermingle the sublime with the mundane, the spiritual with the worldly, while his poem models the soul's escape from the mind's rational embrace.

Meet Moti Ferreira - spectacularly jinxed from the day she's born. Saddled with an eccentric mother, she stumbles upon the one man who holds the key to her freedom - the best man at her cousin's upcoming wedding. All Moti has to do is overcome her fear of water, board a yacht to the Greek Isles, seduce the dreamy Nikos Manolas, and survive two weeks at sea with her oddball family. The only obstacle Moti doesn't see coming is Alexandros Veronis, the onboard chef and star witness to her awkward mishaps.

Farid ud-Din Attar occupies a prominent place in the roll of distinguished Persian poets. His most famous work on Sufism, written eight centuries ago, is the Mantiq-ut-Tayr, or the "Colloquy of the Birds," an allegorical poem in which the gifted mystic describes the quest of the birds (symbolizing Sufi pilgrims) for the Simurg (the Lord of Creation).

When a bomb explodes in a mall in East Africa, its aftershocks send two strangers on a collision course that neither one sees coming. Jack Warden, a divorced coffee farmer in Tanzania, loses his only daughter. An ocean away, in the English countryside, Rodel Emerson loses her only sibling. Two ordinary people, bound by a tragic afternoon, set out to achieve the extraordinary, as they make three stops to rescue three children across the vast plains of the Serengeti - children who are worth more dead than alive.

Perfekte Sommerunterhaltung für alle, die das Mittelmeer und gutes Essen lieben. Moti ist fest davon überzeugt: Nikos ist vom Schicksal für sie bestimmt! Nur er kann sie aus den Fängen ihrer exzentrischen Mutter befreien und endlich für ihre Freiheit sorgen. Die perfekte Gelegenheit, um Nikos zu verführen, bietet sich auf der Verlobungsfeier ihrer Cousine, einer zweiwöchigen Luxuskreuzfahrt in der Ägäis. Leider hat Moti panische Angst vor Wasser, und ihre verrückte Familie sorgt selbst auf einer Luxusjacht für jede Menge Chaos und Streit. Doch was tut man nicht alles für die Liebe?
