A tragic epic love story by one of the greatest medieval Persian romance poets, in a modernverse English translationBased on historical characters of the seventhcentury Iranian court and written 850 years ago, the narrative poem about Khosrow and Shirin shares a shelf with the most intensely romantic classic stories, from Tristan and Isolde to Layla and Majnun to Romeo and Juliet.The love between an Iranian prince (Khosrow) and an Armenian princess (Shirin) is at the centre of this tumultuous tale in which the powers of politics and warfare intertwine with no less powerful forces of erotic desire and the quest for personal and spiritual fulfilment.Dick Daviss translation has captured the energy and poetry of Nezamis original in modern verse. Khosrow and Shirin will enchant both the classicist and the general reader, to captivate a new audience for Nezamis masterpiece.
