Shāh-i nāmahʹhā

The "Shāhnāmah" is a treasure trove of Iranian mythology, culture, and history, with many aspects yet to be fully explored. From this perspective, the book "Shāh-i Nāmah-hā" takes another step towards better-acquainting readers and enthusiasts of "Firdawsī" with this literary masterpiece of Iran and the world, and in a way, it pays homage to the character and work of "Ḥakīm Abū al-Qāsim Firdawsī".

This book is the result of the scattered notes of "Dr. Sīrus Shamīsā", compiled during his teaching of the Shāhnāmah in classes outside the university. These notes are primarily the product of his personal studies and theories on the text of the Shāhnāmah, and in some cases, they differ from conventional and traditional theories. The author's most significant approach to the Shāhnāmah in this book is transforming the story into history or finding a connection between the two.

Shāh-i Nāmah-hā consists of twenty chapters and thoroughly examines various aspects of the Shāhnāmah. It covers everything from the mythological foundations of the Shāhnāmah and ancient Iranian religions to storytelling in the Shāhnāmah, literary semiotics, and rhetorical arts.
