The Rose Garden of Saadi: A Complete Translation of the Gulistan of Saadi (Bilingual)

Join with Sádi and Observe his Miracle Words! ??? ??? ????? ???????? ?? ?? ?????? ? ?? ?????? The sons of Adam are limbs of each other Having been created of one essence. ?? ???? ?? ??? ???? ?????? ??? ????? ?? ????? ???? When the calamity of time afflicts one limb The other limbs cannot remain at rest. ?? ?? ???? ?????? ?? ??? ????? ?? ???? ???? ???? If thou hast no sympathy for the troubles of others Thou art unworthy to be called by the name of a man. Sádi's prose style of writing is simple but vigorous and described as "simple but impossible to imitate" flows quite naturally and effortlessly. Its simplicity, however, is based on a semantic web consisting of synonymity, homophony, and oxymoron buttressed by internal rhythm and external rhyme. Gulistan consisting of 8 chapters is primarily in prose. The book widely addresses kings’ morality, dervishes’ behavior, benefits of contentment, the advantage of silence, love and youthfulness, weakness in old age, the effect of education, and the rules for conduct life. Golestan can be considered Saadi's report of the society of his time, in which the cultural and social conditions of the people are depicted in real life. In some stories, there are imaginary or real third-party characters, and they play a role, but in some stories, the author is present and observes some of these events, the real events of his life and some are merely fictional events. Sádi attempts to advise people to live freely and to improve the quality of their lives in Gulistan. The translation appearing in this book is by Edward Rehatsek in 1888. Goethe and Andre du Ryer presented Sádi to the west for the first time in 1634. The first full translation of Gulistan in English was finished by Sir Richard Francis Burton. Gulistan is a masterpiece of Persian writing and rhetoric and one of the most influential prose books in Persian literature. This book has been used for many years as an educational resource for schools and helps your understanding of Persian culture and literature.
