Poet and translator Dick Davis brings together a collection of epigrams by poets from the 'classic' period of Persian literature.

Epic & Sedition: The Case of Ferdowsi's Shahnameh
ISBN: 9781933823058 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

In this groundbreaking book, Dick Davis argues that the poem is far more than a patriotic chronicle of kingly deeds. Rather, it is a subtle and highly ambiguous discussion of authority, and far from being a celebration of monarchy, its most famous episodes and heroes amount to a radical critique of the institution. Davis demonstrates that the public world of kingly authority is shadowed in the poem by a...

When They Broke Down the Door: Poems
ISBN: 9781933823805 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The power of poetry to map the human heart has been a hallmark of Persian culture for at least a thousand years, and Fatemeh Shams wields it unforgettably. As a member of the Iranian diaspora living in the West, her voice is often one of anguished separation, and many of her poems touch on politics, but as translator Dick Davis says in his introduction to this volume, her approach is "inward and personal rather than public and propagandistic." Frequently, her focus on the individual extends to erotic passion - "It was night, your hands were full of moonlight . . ." - or addresses its obverse,...
