«La vita ai tempi eroici di Persia» is Italo Pizzi's essay on Persian epic poetry, published by Aurora Boreale in paperback (70 pages, in Italian).
The work stems from the lecture Italo Pizzi gave at the Philological Circle of Florence in 1885 and delves into medieval Persian epic poetry: kings, heroes and princesses, dark forces of nature, magics, colors and perfumes of an Orient laden with myths and ancestral legends, in the wake of the Shâhnâme and Persian epic poetry.
Italo Pizzi (Parma, 1849-Turin, 1920) was professor of Persian and Indo-Iranian philology at the University of Turin and translated the Shâhnâme, the Book of Kings by Ferdowsî, between 1886 and 1888.
A work suitable for those interested in ancient history, Indo-Iranian philology and Eastern epic poetry.
