The Shahnameh: Tales of Heroes and Magic - Illustrated Edition A Timeless Epic Reimagined for Today For over a thousand years, The Shahnameh (The Book of Kings) has been celebrated as the crown jewel of Persian literature. Its timeless stories of courage, love, betrayal, and destiny have inspired generations across the Middle East and beyond. Now, this new retelling invites young readers and families to rediscover the epic in a format that is both beautifully illustrated and deeply engaging. Perfect for classrooms, family reading, or collectors who appreciate literary art, this book serves as a gateway to one of the world's greatest mythological traditions. Each story is narrated by the Simorgh, the ancient mythical bird who has watched over Persia's heroes for centuries. Acting as storyteller and guardian, the Simorgh carries readers through the mountains of Alborz, across mystical kingdoms, and into the hearts of kings, warriors, and dreamers. Inside This Volume This volume features three of the Shahnameh's most unforgettable tales: 1. The Tale of Zal A white-haired prince is abandoned by his father, the mighty Sam, and left to perish on a mountaintop. But destiny intervenes when the Simorgh, the bird of wisdom, raises Zal as her own. This tender and magical story explores themes of belonging, forgiveness, and the power of love that transcends appearance and pride. 2. The Seven Trials of Rostam (Haft Khan-e Rostam) Persia's greatest hero, Rostam, embarks on a thrilling adventure to rescue his king. Along the way, he must overcome seven impossible challenges-facing monstrous beasts, treacherous deserts, and dark sorcery. Each trial reveals the courage, wisdom, and faith that define a true champion. 3. The Tragedy of Rostam and Sohrab A tale as moving as any in world literature-the heartbreaking encounter between a father and son destined to meet as enemies on the battlefield. Told with emotional depth and poetic power, this story captures the essence of fate, identity, and the cost of heroism.
