THE BLOSSOMS OF MY GARDEN REMAIN FRESH FOREVER: Readings from Saadi's
'Gulistan'
Shaykh Saadi of Shiraz, a contemporary of Rumi, is recognized as a master
of classical Persian literature. His two masterpieces, the Gulistan and the
Bustan, are revered worldwide both for the literary pleasures they provide
and for the wisdom they contain. Richard Jeffrey Newman’s Selections from
Saadi’s Gulistan is the first English literary translation of the Gulistan
to appear in more than 100 years that includes portions of the entire text.
Come hear Professor Newman read from his work and discuss what he learned
from and about the translation process.
If you would like more information about Professor Newman or his work,
