Reading Shahnameh: The Persian Book of Kings | Alexandria
Read Shahnameh: The Persian Book of Kings by Abolqasem Ferdowsi. Weaving epic tales of honor and fate, this 1000-year-old Persian masterwork reveals how true power comes not from conquest, but wisdom. Though written to preserve Iranian culture under Arab rule, Ferdowsi's 60,000 verses illuminate a startling truth: lasting influence stems from moral authority, not military might.
