Johann Herolt OP ( 1390-1468), a Dominican friar of Nürnberg, was the most prolific sermonist of fifteenth century Europe, producing a huge and widely used library of sermon materials under the penname 'Discipulus'. For nearly forty years, Johann Herolt was teacher, preacher, confessor, administrator, and advocate of the sisters of St Katharine's, the Dominican sister house. While he was vicar of St Katharine's in 1436, he preached to the sisters a series of Advent, Christmas, and New Year sermons, using the imagery of an enclosed garden in which the rose tree of eternal wisdom grows - a garden surrounded by the wall of the fear of God, and entered by the strait gate of diligence. His heartfelt discourse was about the monastic virtues of humility, patience, and obedience. The sermons were never published. The manuscript is a partial reconstruction from verbatim notes of a series of Advent, Christmas and New Year sermons.

A literary event—twenty short stories by the late Maeve Brennan, one of The new Yorker's most admired writers. Five are set in the author's native Dublin, a city, like Joyce's, of paralyzed souls and unexpressed love. the others are set in and around her adopted Manhattan, which she once called "the capsized city—half–capsized, anyway, with the inhabitants hanging on, most of them still able to laugh as they cling to the island that is their life's predicament." Some of the stories are quietly tender, some ferociously satirical, some unique in their chilly emotional weather. All are Maeve Brennan at her incomparable best.

Join with Sádi and Observe his Miracle Words! بنی آدم اعضای یکدیگرند که در آفرینش ز یک گوهرند The sons of Adam are limbs of each other Having been created of one essence. چو عضوی به درد آورد روزگار دگر عضوها را نماند قرار When the calamity of time afflicts one limb The other limbs cannot remain at rest. تو کز محنت دیگران بی غمی نشاید که نامت نهند آدمی If thou hast no sympathy for the troubles of others Thou art unworthy to be called by the name of a man. Sádi's prose style of writing is simple but vigorous and described as "simple but impossible to imitate" flows quite naturally and effortlessly. Its simplicity, however, is based on a semantic web consisting of synonymity, homophony, and oxymoron buttressed by internal rhythm and external rhyme. Gulistan consisting of 8 chapters is primarily in prose. The book widely addresses kings’ morality, dervishes’ behavior, benefits of contentment, the advantage of silence, love and youthfulness, weakness in old age, the effect of education, and the rules for conduct life. Golestan can be considered Saadi's report of the society of his time, in which the cultural and social conditions of the people are depicted in real life. In some stories, there are imaginary or real third-party characters, and they play a role, but in some stories, the author is present and observes some of these events, the real events of his life and some are merely fictional events. Sádi attempts to advise people to live freely and to improve the quality of their lives in Gulistan. The translation appearing in this book is by Edward Rehatsek in 1888. Goethe and Andre du Ryer presented Sádi to the west for the first time in 1634. The first full translation of Gulistan in English was finished by Sir Richard Francis Burton. Gulistan is a masterpiece of Persian writing and rhetoric and one of the most influential prose books in Persian literature. This book has been used for many years as an educational resource for schools and helps your understanding of Persian culture and literature. Published by: Persian Learning Center www.persianbell.com
