Beskrivelse
A fresh, lyrical new translation of Persia's founding epic. Abu al-Qasem Ferdowsi (940-1020 CE), one of Iran's greatest poets, versified the ancient legends of the Persian Book of Kings (Shahnameh) in verse over one thousand years ago. It traces the storied history of the Iranian people, beginning with the origin myths of civilization and ending with the Arab Conquest of Iran in the seventh century. This translation by Ahmad Sadri renders the tale in highly accessible yet atmospheric prose for contemporary audiences.
