The Story of Siavash in the Shahnameh presents one of the most profound and enduring tragedies of world literature, drawn from Ferdowsi’s monumental Persian epic. Siavash, a noble and virtuous prince, faces a series of difficult trials and injustices that shape his destiny and reveal the depth of his moral character. Though blessed with wisdom, restraint, and integrity, he becomes caught in the turbulence of court politics and forces beyond his control, leading him toward one of the most unforgettable fates in the Shahnameh.Rooted in nearly three millennia of cultural memory, the story of Siavash has inspired mourning rituals, folklore, poetry, and visual arts across Iranian history. From the ancient ceremonies known as Siavashan to the celebrated 'Tears of Siavash' flower, this tale has remained a central symbol of innocence, sacrifice, and national identity.Clear, faithful, and deeply engaging, this edition recounts Siavash’s journey within the broader mythological and historical context of the Shahnameh-often regarded as equal in stature to the works of Homer, Dante, and Shakespeare.A powerful introduction to Persian epic literature for modern readers.This edition is presented entirely in Persian (Farsi). Available for bookstores and libraries via ingram distribution.

    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
