Description
Nizami's Haft Paykar is a deep, enduring work of literature. It can be appreciated as a psychological bildungsroman, fairytale, spiritual quest, and adventure tale. Meisami, a leading scholar of the classical Persian literary tradition, has created the first full modern English rendering. This translation is the only one based on a critical edition of the Persian text and pays close attention to the literary qualities of the poem.
