Written in the thirteenth century, it blends philosophic wisdom with entertaining narrative and includes topics as diverse as 'Love and Youth', 'The Manners of Kings', 'The Morals of Dervishes', 'The Advantages of Silence' and 'Rules for Conduct'. The reverse of squeamish, Sa'di brings to his observations a refreshing candour and lively resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe present edition is the only complete translation so far made and faithfully follows the version by Edward Rehatsek first printed in 1888 for F.
