The book highlights how evidentiality can be accounted for as a stylistic device to reveal the validity of a narration, as well as the author's commitment and contribution to it. Three of Sa'dī's major works are analyzed - \u003ci\u003eBūstān, Golestān \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eSonnets\u003c\/i\u003e - using Krippendoff's frequency approach. It is argued that Sa'dī deployed an array of evidentials in his work, from direct visual evidentials in \u003ci\u003eGolestān \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eSonnets \u003c\/i\u003eto heard and quoted evidentials in \u003ci\u003eBūstān. \u003c\/i\u003eTo illustrate this, the book includes translations of Sa'dī's poetry and prose. In addition, the authors consider historical and contemporary manifestations of the Persian narrative style, as well as exploring the cultural concerns of the Persian speech community. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book will appeal to general linguists, practitioners of pragmatics and stylistics, literary critics, and those interested in contrastive analysis of literature and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBehrooz Mahmoodi-Bakhtiari\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Linguistics and Persian at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Tehran, as well as being an affiliate at the Institute of Oriental Studies, Russian-Armenian University, Yerevan.
