Description

Covers show light wear only, text/interior is clean and free of marking of any kind. 357 pages, translated from the Persian to English by George Morrison. This is a prose translation of the epic poem by Gurgani, and is one of the earlies of its kind in Persian literature. Looks like a pretty action-packed tale involving a sorceress who casts a spell of impotency; escapes, a wild boar, a brawl, a marriage ensue. Jacket is quite shelf-worn with several open tears, edge/corner wear but intact.
