Readings From The Shah Nameh

The culture of Iran includes its national epic composed in the Persian language, the Shah Nameh. This book was written by Abul-Ghasem Ferdowsi and is over 1000 years old. In its original form, the Shah Nameh is the longest poem in world history composed by a single author. The Shah Nameh teaches and entertains with dramatic stories and themes adapted from Zoroastrianism, interweaving ancient Iranian values, customs, folklore, and history. The Shah Nameh tells about the Kingdom of Iran including lives of women and men, heroes and villains, and ordinary people and families. Readings from the Shah Nameh includes narrative summaries that abridge the original work, and long readings of the original work translated in rhyming poetry. The font is large and easy to read. This book has been carefully and lovingly edited by Alan Lewis Silva.
