Reviews

The aim of the authors is comparable to the noble mission of the author of the most famous version of the Shahnama epic tradition written down a millennium ago by the poet Firdawsi, who adapted many stories of Persian, Scythian and Parthian folklore and created an iconic collective national identity symbol. Dr F.I. Melville, Head of the Shahnama Centre, Pembroke College, University of Cambridge


Author Information

The stories have been transcribed and analysed by Ravshan Rahmoni, Professor of Tajik literature at the University of Dushanbe, and translated by Gabrielle van den Berg, lecturer in Persian at the University of Leiden.
