Barʹrasī-i janbahʹhā-yi namāyishī-i ḥikāyatʹhāyī az Gulistān-i Saʻdī

This monograph by Maryam Burhānī explores the intersection of classical Persian literature and the performing arts by analysing the dramatic aspects of Saʻdī's *Gulistān*. Published in Tihrān, the work identifies specific stories within the *Gulistān* that lend themselves to theatrical adaptation, dissecting their narrative components, dialogue, and character arcs. The text provides a theoretical framework for adapting traditional Iranian tales for the modern stage, offering insights into both the literary mastery of Saʻdī and the techniques of dramatic writing. It serves as a resource for scholars of Persian literature and practitioners of theatre seeking to revitalise classical heritage through performance.
