The great hero stories of Persia retold from the Shah Naameh and beautifully illustrated. What Homer was to Greece and Virgil to Rome, Firdusi was to Persia, and there are no more thrilling stories of fighting and adventure than those of Rustem, the champion of the Heroic Age of Persia, quite different as they are from the tales of every other nation. Rustem was as brave and chivalrous as any of King Arthur’s knights and had just as many adventures and trials, and the story of his heroism and knightly courtesy, coupled with all the mysticism and splendor of the East, make this book a fascinating one. The book has a striking cover of Persian design.
