Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh “The Book of Kings” preserved Persian identity language and heritage is the world’s longest epic poem created by a single poet. He spent over three decades writing the Shahnameh. This is what Ferdowsi believes about his work and his life purpose.
Much I have suffered in these thirty years, I have revived the Ajam with my verse. I will not die then alive in the world, For I have spread the seed of the word. Whoever has sense, path, and faith, After my death will send me praise.
