Obeyd-e Zakani, who died in 1372, is among the great poets of Iran
but little known in the West. This selection of his work is the
first to be translated into English. Obeyd was a remarkable
satirist and social critic who looked upon his world of extravagant
indulgence and corruption with the censorious eyes of a Juvenal,
and portrayed it with the cynicism and wit of a Voltaire, and the
hilarious grotesqueness of a Rabelais. He used scathing stories and
sardonic maxims to paint a world full of deceit, greed, lust,
sycophancy, and perversion, where old values and virtues were
scorned and extremes of wealth and poverty, violence and bloodshed
were the order of the day.
