The Story of Siavash in the Shahnameh: A Retelling of a Persian Epic Tragedy:Persian
by Hasan Karimi
€ 22.50
ISBN: 9781918054040
Language: Persian
Siavash in the Shahnameh presents one of the most profound and enduring tragedies of world literature, drawn from Ferdowsi's monumental Persian epic. Siavash, a noble and virtuous prince, becomes the victim of a devastating false accusation after rejecting the forbidden advances of his stepmother. His triumph in the trial by fire proves his innocence, yet fate leads him toward one of the most unforgettable destinies in the epic.
Rooted in nearly three millennia of cultural memory, the story of Siavash has influenced rituals, folklore, art, and literature across centuries. From the ancient mourning traditions known as Siavashan to the famed "Tears of Siavash" flower, this narrative continues to hold a significant place in Iranian identity.
Clear, faithful, and engaging, this book presents the story of Siavash within the broader mythological and historical context of the Shahnameh, a masterpiece often regarded as equal in stature to the works of Homer, Dante, and Shakespeare.
A powerful introduction to Persian epic literature for modern readers.
This edition is presented entirely in Persian.
