Firdaws preserved the pre-Islamic tradition of stories of Iranian
Kings to the present. His work is the archetype of Persian
language, influencing overwhelmingly the formation of Persian
literature. The creation of the Sh hn ma influenced the
storytelling tradition in Iran, for it shaped systematically the
preexisting repertoire of Iranian storytellers. This book focuses
on various aspects of the Book of Kings: the historical background
of the creation of the Sh hn ma; its tradition from the Ghaznavid
period to the 20th century; the concepts of Islam and nationalism
which are of fundamental importance for understanding storytelling
in modern Iran; the social aspects of storytelling in modern Iran;
and the modern and traditional aspects of the art of storytelling
performance.
