Read this bit of Shahnameh by Abolqasem Ferdowsi, translated by Dick Davis, on the 30th, and it is moving. Suddenly, this epic pauses as he mourns the death of his son. You feel the tragedy, after over a millennium. #Shahnameh #AbolqasemFerdowsi #DickDavis

From the 31st of August to the 2nd, I read Shahnameh by Abolqasem Ferdowsi, translated by Dick Davis! The Persian Book of Kings is such an incredible epic, travelling from mythology to history! #Shahnameh #AbolqasemFerdowsi #DickDavis

On the 28th, I got Shahnameh by Abolqasem Ferdowsi, translated by Dick Davis, and began The Persian Book of Kings on the 31st! What an epic it is! Just read The Akvan Div in the graveyard! #Shahnameh #AbolqasemFerdowsi #DickDavis #graveyardreads
