Fiction Beast | Persian literature vs Japanese literature - Shahnameh vs. The Tale of Genji @Fiction_Beast | Uploaded September 2020 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
This video is comparing The Tale of Genji by Lady Murasaki of Japan, world’s first novel and the most important work of Japanese literature and Shahnameh by Ferdowsi, the longest poem by a single author and the most important book in Persian literature. You might be surprised that despite their obvious differences they have a lot in common.

Buy the books:
"The Tale of Genji": amzn.to/38MauNn
"Shahnameh": amzn.to/3h7F9cp

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.


I would very much appreciate if you subscribed, shared and liked my videos.
