Lessons on life that last through the ages...

1000 years ago in northern Persia a King is nearing death. He calls for his son, the heir apparent to the throne, to tell him some words of wisdom. Only his son is nowhere to be found.

The King decides to take the unusual step of passing on his knowledge through the written word.

Nearly a millennium later, a copy of the original manuscript is sold at famed auction house CHRISTIE'S in London for an undisclosed sum.

This book contains 19 chapters of the actual quotations.
