Belgrade Holds Sa’adi Poetry Night

BELGRADE (IRNA) – 'Saadi Poetry and Wisdom Night' was held in Belgrade to commemorate the great Persian classical poet Saadi Shirazi.

Organized by the Iranian Cultural Center in Serbia, the event was attended by Persian language lovers, Iranian and Serbian cultural figures and university professors.
In the meeting, Iran's Cultural Attaché in Serbia Mahmoud Shalouei referred to Saadi's status in Persian literature and said, 'Saadi is not only a poet, but he is also a wise scholar whose numerous travels and encounters with other nations made him produce a treasure trove of thoughts and wisdom through his masterpieces.'
He also discussed Saadi's ideology and recited a number of his rhymes.
Some of Saadi's books such as 'Bustan' were featured on the sidelines of the event.
Saadi's best known works are 'Bustan' completed in 1257 AD and 'Golestan' (The Rose Garden) in 1258 AD.
