Ātash-i Pārsī: Darangī dar rūzgār, zindagī va andīshah-yi Saʻdī Persian 2025

“Atash-e Pārsi (The Persian Fire)” is a historical and literary study of the life, thought, and era of Sa‘di Shirazi, presented in two volumes. The work seeks to provide a comprehensive portrait of Sa‘di’s personality, writings, and his lasting position in Persian culture and literature.

In this collection, the author first examines the historical and social conditions of Sa‘di’s time, the situation of Iran and Shiraz, the Mongol invasion, and the political and cultural transformations of that era. It then explores Sa‘di’s life, travels, personal experiences, intellectual and ethical characteristics, and his relationship with society and the rulers of his time, drawing on his works and historical sources.

The second volume focuses on the analysis of Sa‘di’s ideas on subjects such as love, ethics, and human relationships. It also examines his major works and his unparalleled role in shaping the Persian language and cultural identity. Yazdanparast presents Sa‘di as a poet who, during one of the most challenging periods in Iranian history, created a lasting legacy for Iranian culture through wisdom, moderation, and a deeply humanistic perspective.

“Atash-e Pārsi” is a scholarly work for a deeper understanding of Sa‘di and the connection between his life, historical context, and literary achievements. The book highlights the position of Sheikh-e Ajal (Sa‘di) in the history of Persian literature and his profound influence on Persian language and Iranian thought.
