Persian Tales
29.99 €
The wide popularity of Persian fairy tales is primarily due to the fact that they reflect various aspects of people's life - hopes and despair, aspirations for a better future. A characteristic feature of Persian folk tales is optimism: numerous obstacles standing in the way of the heroes of fairy tales are always overcome. Truth triumphs. Defending the rightness of their hard-working, intelligent and honest heroes - people from the people - the tales expose arrogant and unjust vizirs, condemn unjust judges, oppose the licentiousness and perfidy of officials, sanctimony of mullahs, superstition, lies and deceit, scourge dishonest and unscrupulous people.
The sources for the translations are primarily the records published by the famous collectors of fairy tales, Kuhi Kermani and Mokhtadi Sobhi. The publication is addressed to folklorists, cultural historians and all those interested in world folklore.
