Born in Shiraz, Iran, in 1184, Saadi is one of the greatest Persian poets of all time. Saadi’s two books, the poetic Bostan, or Orchard (in 1257), and the prose Gulistan, the Rose Garden (in 1258), are regarded as supreme accomplishments of Persian literature. The Persian literature and culture are deeply indebted to Saadi’s publications.
