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.

As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)</p>
