Golestan

Golestan, meaning "Rose Garden" in Persian, refers to a historic collection of narratives and poetry by the Persian poet Saadi, written in the 13th century. This influential work is renowned for its moral lessons and social commentary, blending prose and poetry to explore human nature, ethics, and the importance of kindness and wisdom. Saadi uses anecdotes and fables, often featuring animals and characters, to convey insights that remain relevant today. The Golestan reflects the cultural richness of Persian literature and has significantly shaped storytelling traditions in both the Persian-speaking world and beyond.
