With Sa'di in the Garden presents a selection of translations and adaptations from the 'Bustan' (The Garden) of the renowned Persian poet Sa'di of Shiraz (c. 1210-1291/1292). Sir Edwin Arnold, a celebrated English poet and translator known for his works on Eastern themes, renders Sa'di's moral and philosophical verses into English, capturing the essence of Sa'di's wisdom for a Western audience.
The 'Bustan' is a collection of didactic poems offering ethical guidance and reflections on human nature, justice, and the spiritual life. Arnold's work invites readers to explore the rich tapestry of Persian literature and the timeless teachings of Sufi mysticism. This edition allows readers to appreciate the beauty and depth of Sa'di's poetry through the lens of a skilled translator, providing insights into a world of wisdom and contemplation that continues to resonate across cultures and centuries.
