Book Description:
|
Nizami's Haft Paykar is a deep, enduring work of literature, one that can be appreciated as psychological bildungsroman, fairytale, spiritual quest, and adventure tale. Meisami is a leading scholar of the classical Persian literary tradition, and her translation--the first full modern English rendering, and the only one to be based on a critical edition of the Persian text--pays close attention to the literary qualities of the poem.
