' In the breath that I die, for you I' ll be longing/ Wishing to turn into the dust of your belonging' - Sa' di, Expressions of Love. With poetry which speaks across the ages, Sa' di (1210-1281) is a vital classical poet and a towering figure of the medieval Persian canon. Comparable in skill and stature to other Persian poets such as Ferdowsi, Hafez, Rumi and Omar Khayyam, Sa' di' s verses--best known through his ' Bustan' and ' Golestan' address universal themes of passion, love and the human condition in works which are both psychologically perceptive and beautifully crafted. His mystical writings, contemporaneous with Rumi, reveal a degree of depth, wisdom and insight which have placed Sa' di in the pantheon of world literature. In this essential new translation of Sa' di' s work, leading expert on Iranian studies Homa Katouzian seeks to bring the poet' s lyrics to a new readership. The book provides the Persian text and Katouzian' s English translation side-by-side, creating an indispensible tool for students and enthusiasts of Iranian history, literature and culture.
Homa Katouzian is a historian and literary critic, with a special interest in Iranian studies. He is the Iran Heritage Research Fellow at St. Antony' s College, Oxford. He is the editor of Iranian Studies, the bimonthly Journal of the International Society for Iranian Studies.
