5.0

My first Persian classic read or Persian book rather. I honestly just decided to read this out of impulse and literally, I do not know that this’ll make me hooked up and love and curious about middle east history. The translation was divine, it’s poetic. One of my goal in life as a reader is to read a foreign story in it’s foreign tongue in the absence of English translation. Though quite a long process but I can now initiate a conversation using Spanish language, not confident but still an achievement so far. Point is, I thank myself for deciding to buy this book and actually read this instead of putting it only on the shelf. Because without this, I wouldn’t have the enthusiasm to learn Persian and Arabic language.
