The Shahnameh of Ferdowsi: Volume One

Translated by Dibachi and Dibachi

The world begins, a tyrant falls, and the heroes are born.

Volume One begins the first complete English translation of the Shahnameh in rhyming verse. The world begins. A tyrant grows serpents from his shoulders, and a blacksmith raises his apron and brings him down. A king divides the world among his sons, and brothers become enemies. A boy raised by a magical bird fathers the greatest hero of all. A father kills his son without knowing him, and an innocent prince rides through fire.
