World’s literature is indebted to great authors and poets like Goethe, Edward Fitzgerald, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nietzsche who were in one way or another influenced by Persian literature.

Shiraz is the cradle of Persian poetry. Sa’adi, the greatest poet of the 13th century and the true master of Persian language was actually an ardent world explorer who visited Anatolia, Syria, Egypt, Halab, Jerusalem, Mecca and Medina. He wrote the story of his life and journeys in two books named Boustan in verse and Golestan in prose. His tomb as he attested still attracts the lovers after 800 years. Hafiz whom the World pays homage to respected Sa’adi as his master one century later. Goethe among many other prominent personages has visited Hafez tomb in Shiraz. Like Sa’adi Hafez has prophesied that his tomb would be “the shrine where the drunkards abound” and it still is.
