The book "Forty Rules of Love" by Elif Shafak

Elif Shafak's Forty Rules of Love is one of her most famous symbolic novels. The novel is based on the story of Rumi and his teacher Shams of Tabriz. The writer used one of the techniques of the postmodern novel, reflecting on the story of Rumi and Shams through the prism of modern life. With this technique, the writer lists forty symbolic rules of love and shows that love, whether in the 13th or 21st century, is transformed but does not change; it is multifaceted and unchanging.
