black cover with white and blue text with illustration of person riding a horse

Persian literature, including the Shah Nameh, Masnavi-e Ma'navi, Anvar-i Suhayli fables, and Nizāmī's works, tells ancient tales of a civilization that once spanned the world. It features stories like the magical bird Simurgh, the Seven Labours of Rustem, the evil demon Akwán Díw, and the tragic romance of Laili and Majnun. This is beautiful and inventive, offering a joyful read of creation, love, and conquest.
