|
A Story of Conquest and Adventure: The Large Faramarzname presents a poem from the Persian epic cycle dated to the late eleventh century in an English prose translation for the first time. The story tells how Faramarz, a son of the famous Shahname hero Rostam, conquers several provinces of India, before setting off on an extensive voyage over sea and land, leading his troops through a number of hazardous situations in various fictional countries. Finding love and battling men, demons, and various ferocious animals, the epic hero comes to life in this riveting translation. |
