Shahnamh - Epic of the Persian Kings by

Hakim Abol-Ghasem Ferdowsi Toosi (940-1020 AD
The World Famous Persian (Iranian) Poet - Ferdowsi

Tomb of Ferdowsi in Toos, Iran, Near Mashhad

The Shahnameh or The Epic of Kings is one of the definite classics of the world. It tells hero tales of ancient Persia. The contents and the poet's style in describing the events takes the readers back to the ancient times and makes he/she sense and feel the events. Ferdowsi worked for thirty years to finish this masterpiece.

An important feature of this work is that during the period that Arabic language was known as the main language of science and literature, Ferdowsi used only Persian in his masterpiece. As Ferdowsi himself says "Persian language is revived by this work".
