The stories and poems are written in a simple yet powerful language, and are aimed at teaching valuable lessons to the reader. The book is considered a masterpiece of Persian literature and has been translated into many languages. It is widely read and studied in Iran and other parts of the world, and is admired for its timeless wisdom and poetic beauty. The Gulistan or Rose Garden is a must-read for anyone interested in Persian literature, poetry, and philosophy.1884. With the exception of a few passages, of which we need not stop to given account, in this translation, the morality of the Gulistan and the Bostan is pure, and so little clogged with the superstition of the country, that this does not interfere with the pleasure of the modern reader; he can easily translate their ethics into his own. Saadi praises alms, hospitality, justice, courage, bounty, and humility; he respects the poor, and the kings who befriend the poor. He admires the royal eminence of the dervish or religious ascetic.
