Ibn Arabi: The Voyage of No Return traces the major events of Ibn Arabi’s life: his conversion to Sufism; his travels around Andalusia and the Maghreb; his meetings with the saints of his time; his journey to Mecca; and his travels in Egypt, Palestine, Mesopotamia, Anatolia and Syria. Through her detailed analysis of Ibn Arabi’s works and her profound understanding of his ideas, Dr. Claude Addas gives us comprehensive insight into the major doctrines of this most influential of Sufi masters. She also introduces the main disciples of Ibn Arabi down to the nineteenth century, and traces both his unequalled influence on the course of Sufism and the controversies that still surround him today.

The voyage of no return. Ibn Arabi
A concise and very accessible account of Ibn Arabi's life, based on autobiographical and contemporary evidence , with the consistent thread of a spiritual journey from which there would be no return. One of course can follow this up with Addas's 'In search of Red sulphur'.

Sloppy editing
An excellent book slightly marred by careless editing (e.g., pouring instead of poring, deducted instead of deduced).

Brief Outline of Ibn 'Arabi's methods
An interesting introduction to Ibn 'Arabi. It could do with a glossary for some of the direct translations.
