Europe’s first professional woman of letters, Christine de Pisan was a fifteenth century French poet and author, whose prolific and diverse works include courtly poems, biographies, philosophical treatises and proto-feminist texts. Her masterpiece, ‘The Book of the City of Ladies’ combats medieval beliefs about women by creating an allegorical city. Christine arranges a wide array of famous women throughout history, which she ‘houses’ in her City, i.e. the book. Her last work, ‘The Tale of Joan of Arc’ is the only French-language account of the hero during her lifetime. It serves as a lyrical and joyous celebration of Joan’s exploits, helping to elevate the status of women in the late Middle Ages. Delphi’s Medieval Library provides eReaders with rare and precious works of the Middle Ages, with noted English translations and the original texts. This eBook presents Christine’s collected works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Saadi is one of the greatest figures of classical Persian literature. His best-known work of poetry is the ‘Bustan’ (The Orchard), composed entirely in epic metre and consisting of stories illustrating the standard virtues recommended to Muslims, as well as offering reflections on the behaviour of dervishes and their ecstatic practices. Saadi also wrote the ‘Gulistan’, a prose collection featuring stories and personal anecdotes. The text is interspersed with a variety of short poems, containing aphorisms, advice and humorous reflections. Saadi’s works are characterised by their unusual blend of kindness and cynicism, always wishing to avoid the hard dilemma, making him, for many, the most widely admired poet of Persian literature. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. This volume presents Saadi’s collected works, with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material.
