Description
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. Contents: Essay on the Life and Genius of Sheik Saadi; ON the Morals of Kings; On the Morals of Durvaishes; Excellency of Contentment; Advantages of Taciturnity; Love and Youth; On Imbecility and Old Age; Effects of Education; Rules for Conduct in Life.
