DOWNLOAD EBOOKShaykh Mushrifuddin Sa'di of Shiraz finished his collection of moral tales in 1258 AD, and over the centuries it has been one of the most widely read and influential books in the Persian sphere. The first English translation was during the 18th century; Wheeler M. Thackston (Persian, Harvard U.) presents a new edition and new translation on facing pages. Written by Sa'd of Shiraz (c. 1200-c.1290), the Gulistan is probably the best-known nonreligious text in all of Persian literature. A baggy collection of anecdotes, short didactic tales, maxims, and bits of wise advice, it is divided into eight broad chapters of mixed prose and verse that view life through an Islamo-Persian lens. Sa'd's fame is due less to the content, which is conventional wisdom, than to his brilliant style, which combines great concision with puns, rhymed prose, and wordplay exploiting the full range of Persian rhetoric in a manner that Persians call something like "impossible simplicity," irreproducible in English.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Gulistan is a landmark of Persian and Shia Islamic Irfan/Sufi literature, perhaps its single most influential work of prose. Written in 1259 CE, it is one of two major works of the Persian poet Sa'di, considered one of the greatest medieval Persian poets. It is also one of his most popular books, and has proved deeply influential in the West as well as the East. The Gulistan is a collection of poems and stories, just as a rose-garden is a collection of roses. It is widely quoted as a source of wisdom and esoterics. The well-known aphorism still frequently repeated in the western world, about being sad because one has no shoes until one meets the man who has no feet "whereupon I thanked Providence for its bounty to myself" is from the Gulistan.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBorn in Shiraz, Iran, in 1184, Saadi is considered one of the greatest Persian poets of all time. Saadi's two books, the poetic Bostan, or Orchard (in 1257), and the prose Gulistan, the Rose Garden (in 1258), are regarded as supreme accomplishments of Persian literature. The Persian literature and culture are deeply indebted to Saadi's publications. The Gulistan (The Rose Garden) is a landmark of Persian literature, and one of the most influential works of prose in Persian. Written in 1258 CE, it is considered as one of the greatest medieval Persian poets. The Gulistan is a collection of stories and poems, just as a rose-garden is a collection of roses. The translation appearing in this book is provided by Edward Rehatsek in 1888. This bilingual book can be useful for students and enjoyable for poetry lovers of any age. Not only will poems and stories improve your Persian language, but they'll help your understanding of Persian culture. Students will have ample opportunities to enrich their Persian learning experience and extend a range of language abilities through exploring these poems. The English - Persian Glossary at the end of the book can help Persian students better understand keywords in the poems.
