**NEW VIDEO** 10 things I love about Ferdowsi Shahnameh: youtu.be/cuEGVSiybFE

Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh, a thousand year old epic poem holds the record of the longest poem by a single author, and considered the most influential book in Persian language as it helped its survival against the Arabic language. Who was Ferdowsi and why did he write this book? What’s Shahnameh about? Why is it so important for Persian speakers? why is it almost impossible to translate? These are the questions I am going to answer in this video.



I'm on a journey to read unique books and stories from every country on earth , not only to understand the country, its people and culture better, but also learn storytelling so I can write my own novel one day.
