Book excerpt: Text in English & Persian. Is the Gulistan the most influential book in the Iranian world? In terms of prose, it is the model, which all writers of Persian seek to emulate. In terms of moral, philosophical or practical wisdom, it is endlessly quoted to either illustrate or prove a point. Sir John Malcolm even relates being told that it is the basis of the law of the Persians. It also travelled abroad. Voltaire, Goethe, Arnold, Longfellow, Emerson, Thoreau, Melville, and Franklin discovered, read, and took inspiration from the work. Moreover, travelers to Iran have often point out that to understand the mind of the inhabitants, one should read the Gulistan. Written some seven and a half centuries ago by Sa'di of Shiraz the Gulistan or Rose Garden is a collection of moral stories divided into eight themes: "The Conduct of Kings", "The Character of Dervishes", "The Superiority of Contentment", "The Benefits of Silence", "Love and Youth", "Feebleness and Old Age", "The Effects of Education", and "The Art of Conversation." In each section stories are told from which the reader learns how to behave in a given situation. Sa'di can be moral. "Honesty gives God pleasure. I haven't seen anyone get lost on the right road." He may be practical. "If you can't stand the sting, don't put your finger into a scorpion's hole." He is philosophical in these lines which are engraved at the entrance of the United Nations: "The members of the human race are limbs one to another, for at creation they were of one essence. When one limb is pained by fate, the others cannot rest." The Gulistan is considered the essence of elegant but simple Persian prose. For 600 years, it was the first book placed in the learner's hand. In Persian-speaking countries today, quotations from the Gulistan appear in every conceivable type of literature and is the source of numerous everyday proverbial statements, much as Shakespeare is in English. This is the first complete English translation of the Gulistan in more than a century. Wheeler M. Thackston, Professor of Persian at Harvard University, has faithfully translated Sa'di into clear contemporary English. To help the student, the original Persian is presented facing the English translation. A 3,600 word Persian-English and Arabic-English glossary is included to aide with the more difficult meanings. The Gulistan is imbued with a practical wisdom of life. Sa'di recognizes people for what they are. Every personality type that exists is found in the Rose Garden, the good, the bad, the weak, the strong, the pious, the impious, honest folk, and the most conniving of cheats. Hypocrites abound, foolish kings appear with their wily ministers, wise rulers vie with their malevolent courtiers, boastful young warriors turn tail and run. The beauty of Sa'di's wisdom is that it is timeless. What is expressed is in a setting so close and familiar to the modern experience that it is as relevant today as it was six hundred years ago.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flowers Culled From the Gulistan, or Rose Garden, and From the Bostan, or Pleasure Garden of Sadi: A Persian Poet, Who Flourished in the 13th Century I have wandered through various quarters of the world, And spent my days conversing with every one I met In every corner I found something to profit me From every sheaf I gathered an ear. On one occasion, he tells us himself, that whilst he had withdrawn into the desert near Jerusalem to perform his religious exercises, he was made captive by the Franks, who sent him to work with some Jews in digging the trenches at Tripoli. Here he was recognized by an acquaintance whom he had known at Aleppo, and who, pitying his sad condition, redeemed him with ten dinars, took him home with him, and subsequently married him to his daughter, giving him a portion of one hundred dinars. This marriage did not prove a happy one. Her disposition, he says, was ill-tempered and abusive, so that it quite destroyed his comfort. One day tauntingly she exclaimed, Art not thou the man whom my father bought for ten dinars Yes, he replied, and sold to thee for a hundred! Sadi married a second time at Sanaa, the capital of Yemen. We may hope that his second nuptials were crowned with more felicity than his first appears to have been. In the Bostan is found an affecting passage, in which he deplores the death of his son in terms of the most poignant anguish. The events of Sadi's life recorded by his biographers are but few.
