The First Chapter Of The Gulistan

Book Overview

The First Chapter of the Gulistan is a book written by W. A. Montriou and published in 1856. It is a translation of the first chapter of Gulistan, a Persian poem written by Saadi Shirazi in the 13th century. The Gulistan is considered one of the greatest works of Persian literature and is a collection of moral stories and aphorisms. The first chapter, which is the subject of Montriou's translation, focuses on the importance of education, knowledge, and wisdom. It includes stories about wise men and their teachings, as well as anecdotes about foolish people who suffer the consequences of their ignorance. Montriou's translation aims to make this classic work accessible to English-speaking readers and to provide insight into the wisdom and philosophy of Persian literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
