DIVAN OF SADI... Ghazals, Rubais, Masnavis, Qitas, PandNama. (Large Print & Large Format Edition) Revised, Centered Translation & Introduction Paul Smith. Sadi of Shiraz (12101291), a contemporary of Rumi who influenced him, was a Perfect Master Poet who expressed himself in the rubai form as well as many hundreds of ghazals in his beautiful Divan that often also contained images from dervish dancing. Sadi was a great traveller who spent forty years on the road throughout the MiddleEast, North Africa and India and many of the incidents he experienced he wrote down in his two most famous works when he finally returned to his beloved birthplace. Sadis mystical love poetry, his ghazals, although almost unknown in the West, are loved by his fellowcountrymen almost as much as those of Hafiz whom he greatly influenced. Here for the first time in English they can be read in all their beauty and power and spirit. The correct rhymestructure has been kept as well as the beauty and meaning of these beautiful, mystical poems. All of the wonderful 603 ghazals and many of his rubais, some of his qitas, masnavis, & his PandNama (Book of Wisdom) have been translated in clear, modern, meaningful, correctrhyming English. Introduction Life & Times & Poetry of Sadi and his influence on the East and the West and on the form and meaning of the ghazal and the rubai and a Glossary and a Selected Bibliography.
