Shāhnāmah-yi Firdawsī (Qābdār) is a deluxe hardcover edition of the Shāhnāmeh, the monumental Persian epic by Hakīm Abū'l-Qāsim Firdawsī Ṭūsī, based on the authoritative Moscow edition. Comprising nearly 60,000 verses, the work is written in the classical meter faʿūlun faʿūlun faʿūlun faʿul and divided into mythological, heroic, and historical sections.
The epic chronicles:
Ancient Iranian myths and legends
Heroic tales of figures like Rustam, Sohrab, and Esfandiyār
The history of Iran up to the Arab conquest in the 7th century
Firdawsī composed the Shāhnāmeh over three decades, reviving and preserving the Persian language during a time of Arabic dominance. The work has profoundly influenced Persian culture and world literature, with translations into many languages and praise from poets like Goethe and Victor Hugo.
