The God of Rakhsh, Resurrecting the Vow

What can we learn from the Book of Kings: Shahnameh? A country’s literature is where its identity and spirit are encapsulated. That couldn’t be truer where Iran is concerned. Sometimes the folds of time seek to swallow up certain aspects of a culture and people, but just one conscientious person stops time in its tracks. The literary masterpiece that sought to safeguard the Persian language and took its devoted writer three decades to write, is what art director Tandis Tanavoli and Persian literature expert Dr. Amir-Hussein Mahoozi talked about on their duet talk.
