Dick Davis, "our pre-eminent translator from the Persian"
(Washington Post) has revised and expanded his highly-praised
translation of Ferdowsi's masterpiece, including more than 100
pages of newly translated text. Davis's elegant combination of
prose and verse allows the poetry of the Shanameh to sing its own
tales directly, interspersed sparingly with clearly-marked
explanations to ease along modern readers. Among the greatest works
of world literature, this prodigious narrative, composed by the
poet Ferdowsi in the late tenth century, tells the story of
pre-Islamic Iran, beginning in the mythic time of creation and
continuing forward to the Arab invasion in the seventh century.
