Reading Vis and Rāmin | Alexandria
Read Vis and Rāmin by Fakhraddin Gorgani. Reimagining love through a forbidden romance, this Persian epic shatters medieval norms by portraying female desire as spiritually pure rather than sinful. The lovers' defiant passion reveals love's power to transcend social barriers - a radical 11th century argument that still challenges how we view relationships and individual autonomy today.
