The tragedy of Sohrab and Rostam, one of the most famous episodes from the great Persian classic known as the Shahname, or Book of Kings, is translated here into modern English verse. Accompanied by the Persian text on facing pages, this translation captures the narrative power of the poem as no other English translation has. Now, at last, the dramatic and exotic world of the Shahname is revealed to the English reader.
