Descriptions
Shahnameh has endured more than a thousand years of ups and downs and the bitter and sweet of time, always remaining a source of pride and honor for every pure-blooded Iranian. This renowned book was the constant companion of the late Mohammad Ali Haghighat Semnani for over forty years. The great Ferdowsi himself knew that he would find many lovers among the discerning and patriotic, and said:
"I have raised from poetry a lofty palace
That will not be harmed by wind or rain
I will not die from now on, for I am alive
For I have scattered the seed of speech"
Wherever this seed fell on a soft and kind heart, a free and evergreen cypress tree grew. "Shahnameh: The Shield of Victory for the Persian Language" is one of the sweet fruits of that same "seed of speech" by Ferdowsi. The author of this book has taken his pleasant words and narratives of his time from Ferdowsi himself:
Learn now from Ferdowsi's speech
Pure and pleasant words
He has linked the qualities of Shahnameh's heroes with the qualities of the free fighters and speakers of our time, and has made the delightful stories of Shahnameh more appealing to today's youth. The author of the book says, "Ferdowsi's religion was the religion of humanity, love, and love for the homeland."
Dr. Mir Jalaluddin Kazzazi, in his preface to this book, says: "A thick and voluminous book, the result of the author's deep attachment, belief, and passionate and long-standing efforts, and his constant connection to Shahnameh. The late Mohammad Ali Haghighat Semnani has included his readings, research, and findings in this magnificent masterpiece and has placed them before eager readers without any hesitation or regret."
