The Tales of Shahnameh

“The Persians regard Ferdowsi as the greatest of
their poets. For nearly a thousand years they have
continued to read and to listen to recitations from
his masterwork, the Shah-nameh, in which the
Persian national epic found its final and enduring
form. Though written about 1,000 years ago, this
work is as intelligible to the average, modern
Iranian as the King James version of the Bible is to
a modern English-speaker. The language is pure
Persian with only the slightest admixture of
Arabic.”- The Encyclopedia Britannica
