Among the greatest works of world literature, this prodigious narrative, composed by the poet Ferdowsi in the late tenth century, tells the story of pre-Islamic Iran, beginning in the mythic time of creation and continuing forward to the Arab invasion in the seventh century. The sweep and psychological depth of theShahnamehis nothing less than magnificent.

TheShahnamehhas much in common with the blood-soaked epics of Homer and withParadise LostandThe Divine Comedy. . . .

HisShahnamehis rendered in an exquisite blend of poetry and prose. (Reza Aslan,The New York Times Book Review)
Grand . . . To imagine an equivalent to this violent and beautiful work, think of an amalgam of Homer’sIliadand the ferocious Old Testament book of Judges. . . . Thanks to Davis’s magnificent translation, Ferdowsi and theShahnamehlive again in English. (Michael Dirda,The Washington Post)
