Publisher's Synopsis

The Shah Nameh Of The Persian Poet (1892) is a classic work of Persian literature written by Firdausi. The book is an epic poem that tells the story of the kings and heroes of Persia from the beginning of time up until the Islamic conquest of Persia in the 7th century. The poem is written in Persian and is considered one of the greatest works of Persian literature. The book is divided into three parts, each of which tells the story of a different era in Persian history. The first part tells the story of the mythical kings and heroes of Persia, including the legendary hero Rostam. The second part tells the story of the Sassanian dynasty, which ruled Persia from the 3rd to the 7th century. The third part tells the story of the Arab conquest of Persia and the establishment of the Islamic Caliphate. The book is filled with tales of heroic deeds, battles, and political intrigue, and is a must-read for anyone interested in Persian history and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
