EXCELLENCE OF CONTENTMENT:

A literal translation of Stories and transliteration of Poems from Gulistan of Sadi Shirazi.

Sadi Shirazi had great insight into people, keen power of perception and an astute sense of contextualization. He had been in many cities in his two decades of globe-trotting which provided him with an opportunity to associate and mix with every class of people from the royalty to the rustic; and had gone through countless vicissitudes of life. In Gulistan-e-Sadi he has poured out all those experiences with magical beauty of prose and poetry converting them into moral stories. The present book is a translation of stories that appear in one of the chapters - Excellence Of Contentment - of Gulistan.
