Sa'di, a prominent ethicist and a devout teacher of virtues, stands out for his worldliness, his practical teachings, and his love for living a wholesome life, as well as for his signature elegance and artistry that has compelled critics to call his lyrics perfectly polished diamonds.\u003cbr\u003eIn a language deliberately free of technical jargon, Keshavarz argues for the versatility of Sa'di's poetic voice and portrays his notion of love as open to multiple perspectives including homoerotic aesthetics. She brings to life the worldly wisdom that kept the lyrical, adventurous, and ethical legacy of Sa'di fresh and effective through the passage of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fatemeh Keshavarz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399565109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399565103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Fatemeh Keshavarz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48487476199679,"sku":"9781399565103","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_403c3564-d486-4373-a349-e8d8e2a097a8.jpg?v=1778060665","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lyrics-of-life-fatemeh-keshavarz-9781399565103","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
