Description
Shah Nameh (Księga Królów), Rubaiyat, The Divan and Gulistan (The Flower Garden) are some of the greatest works of Persia, containing some of the most beautiful, richest, and most diverse languages of the literary world. In terms of cultural influence, they rival Dante's Divine Comedy, India's Mahabharata, the Sumerian epic of Gigamesh, and the Chinese Dream of Red Mansions, bringing to life stories, myths, and philosophies of ancient and medieval Persia. These classic Persian texts, a marvelous blend of poetry and prose, offer stories of creation, love, conquest, and simple joy of life.
The Flame Tree Gothic Fantasy, Classic Stories, and Epic Tales collections combine a wide range of myths, folklore, and contemporary short fiction. Highlighting roots in suspense, supernatural phenomena, science fiction, and mystery, books from the Flame Tree Collections series are beautifully presented, perfect as gifts, and provide lifelong reading pleasure.
