"The Shahnameh recounts the history of Iran, beginning with the creation of the world and the introduction of the arts of civilization (fire, cooking, metallurgy, law) to the Aryans (in the sense of Iranians) and ends with the Arab conquest of Persia. The work is not precisely chronological, but there is a general movement through time. Some of the characters live for hundreds of years but most have normal life spans. There are many sh¿hs who come and go, as well as heroes and villains, who also come and go. The only lasting images are that of Greater Persia itself, and a succession of sunrises and sunsets, no two ever exactly alike, yet illustrative of the passage of time. The work is divided into three successive parts: the mythical, heroic, and historical ages. Father Time, a Saturn-like image, is a reminder of the tragedy of death and loss, yet the next sunrise comes, bringing with it hope of a new day. In the first cycle of creation, evil is external (the devil). In the second cycle, we see the beginnings of family hatred, bad behavior, and evil permeating human nature. Sh¿h Fereyd¿n's two eldest sons feel greed and envy toward their innocent younger brother and, thinking their father favors him, they murder him. The murdered prince's son avenges the murder, and all are immersed in the cycle of murder and revenge, blood and more blood. In the third cycle, we encounter a series of flawed shahs. There is a Phaedra-like story of Sh¿h Kay K¿vus, his wife S¿ The mythical age: After an opening in praise of God and Wisdom, the Shahnameh gives an account of the creation of the world and of man as believed by the Sasanians. This introduction is followed by the story of the first man, Keyumars, who also became the first king after a period of mountain dwelling. His grandson Hushang, son of S¿y¿mak, accidentally discovered fire and established the Sadeh Feast in its honor. Stories of Tahmuras, Jamshid, Zahh¿k, Kawa or Kaveh, Fereyd¿n and his three sons Salm, Tur, and Iraj, and his grandson Manuchehr are related in this section. This portion of the Shahnameh is relatively short, amounting to some 2,100 verses or four percent of the entire book, and it narrates events with the simplicity, predictability, and swiftness of a historical work. The heroic age: Almost two-thirds of the Shahnameh is devoted to the age of heroes, extending from Manuchehr's reign until the conquest of Alexander the Great (Sekandar). The main feature of this period is the major role played by the Saka or Sist¿n¿ heroes who appear as the backbone of the Persian Empire. Garsh¿sp is briefly mentioned with his son Narim¿n, whose own son S¿m acted as the leading paladin of Manuchehr while reigning in Sist¿n in his own right. His successors were his son Z¿l and Zal's son Rostam, the bravest of the brave, and then Far¿marz. Among the stories described in this section are the romance of Zal and Rud¿ba, the Seven Stages (or Labors) of Rostam, Rostam & Sohr¿b, S¿y¿vash & Sud¿ba, Rostam & Akv¿n D¿v, the romance of Bi¿han & Maní¿heh, the wars with Afr¿s¿y¿b, Daqiqi's account of the story of Gosht¿sp & Arj¿sp, and Rostam & Esfandy¿r. It is noteworthy that the legend of Rostam and Sohr¿b is attested only in the Shahnameh and, as usual, begins with a lyrical and detailed prelude. Here Ferdowsi is at the zenith of his poetic power and has become a true master of storytelling. The thousand or so verses of this tragedy comprise one of the most moving tales of world literature. The historical age A brief mention of the Arsacid dynasty follows the history of Alexander and precedes that of Ardashir I, founder of the Sassanid Empire. After this, Sassanid history is related with a good deal of accuracy. The fall of the Sassanids and the Arab conquest of Persia are narrated romantically. Seller Inventory # 019285
