Description

The new, impeccable translation and adaptation of the Epic of Persian Kings by Ahmad Sadri brought to life a host of heroic characters and wove their adventures into a thrilling story spanning thousands of years. Containing four grand tragedies and four beautiful love stories, the audiobook is currently going into its fifth edition. It has been a smashing success. We are delighted to present a 12-hour audio experience of this text (performed by the award-winning voice actor, Marc Thompson) against the backdrop of evocative sound design and music editing of Hamid Rahmanian the creator of the Shahnameh project.

Now, make sure you have a good set of headphone/speakers and tighten your seat belts. This immersive audio experience will take you on a journey back to the soundscape of ancient Iranian heroes, monsters, lovers, and warriors. This is going to be one heck of a ride. 

About the Book: Shahnameh: The Epic of the Persian Kings is the illustrated edition of the classic work written over one thousand years ago by Abolqasem Ferdowsi, one of Persia's greatest poets. This new prose translation of the national epic is illuminated with over 500 pages of illustrations and will be published in April 2013. The lush and intricate illustrations in this edition have been created by award-winning graphic artist and filmmaker Hamid Rahmanian, incorporating images from the pictorial tradition of the Persianate world from the fourteenth to the nineteenth centuries. The new translation and adaptation by Ahmad Sadri, retells the mythological and epic stories of the original poem in prose format. This Shahnameh is an extraordinary literary and artistic accomplishment.

I can never find another Audible book like this

I have been listening to Audible books for the last five years, but I never had such a unique experience. This is not just a book. It is much more beyond that. A book by Abolqasem Ferdowsi, one of Persia's greatest poets, a beautiful translation by professor Ahmad Sadri, and a 12-hour audiobook with beautiful sound design and music and magic by Hamid Rahmanian, Narrated by Marc Thompson, Francis Ford Coppola - introduction. I don't think, I can ever have such a unique experience with Audible books again.

Great narration and wonderful sound design

*This audiobook is a must-listen for anyone interested in epics or world literature*.

The "Shahnameh", penned by the Persian poet Ferdowsi over a millennium ago, is often hailed as the epic soul of Iran. I am not a fan of old literature but this audiobook has made Shahnameh accessible to contemporary audiences worldwide with an excellent sound design and music.

Ferdosi is the father of fiction

Ferdosi should be called the father of fiction books. Just knowing that this book was written in 977 AD makes it the number one fiction book of all time. My only question is that was it really fiction or all those things had really happend? It's amazing to see that a 1000 years ago there were writers who were a 1000 years ahead of us.
