Long description:
A tragic epic love story by one of the greatest medieval Persian romance poets, in a modern-verse English translation
Based on historical characters of the seventh-century Iranian court and written 850 years ago, the narrative poem about Khosrow and Shirin shares a shelf with the most intensely romantic classic stories, from Tristan and Isolde to Layla and Majnun to Romeo and Juliet.
The love between an Iranian prince (Khosrow) and an Armenian princess (Shirin) is at the centre of this tumultuous tale in which the powers of politics and warfare intertwine with no less powerful forces of erotic desire and the quest for personal and spiritual fulfilment.
Dick Davis's translation has captured the energy and poetry of Nezamiâs original in modern verse. Khosrow and Shirin will enchant both the classicist and the general reader, to captivate a new audience for Nezamiâs masterpiece.
