A Story of Conquest and Adventure

The Large Far.marzn.me

De onderstaande tekst is niet beschikbaar in het Nederlands en wordt in het Engels weergegeven.
The Large Far.marzn.me (Far.marzn.me-ye bozorg), a poem from the Persian epic cycle dated to the late eleventh century, is hereby published for the first time in an English translation, in prose. The story tells how Far.marz, a son of the famous Sh.hn.me 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. As a true epic hero, he displays his prowess in battle and in single combat against men, demons and various ferocious animals, in addition to experiencing a number of marvelous and romantic adventures.
