Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the richness of the Persian language, exploring its historical significance, literary elegance, and the reasons behind its underappreciation in the West. The author argues that despite its beauty and expressiveness, Persian literature has been overlooked due to various factors, including cultural biases, religious prejudices, and a lack of accessible resources. The text highlights the historical context of Persian as a language spoken by great emperors and refined courts, boasting a wealth of works by renowned historians, philosophers, and poets. The author sheds light on the challenges faced by scholars in promoting Eastern literature, emphasizing the scarcity of available texts and the tendency of academics to focus on minute details rather than the broader beauty of the language. This book delves into the impact of patronage on the flourishing of languages and literature, comparing the support for scholars in the golden ages of Greece and Rome with the lack of encouragement from European nobility. The author underscores the importance of Persian in navigating political and commercial affairs in India, where it served as a vital tool for communication and diplomacy. Ultimately, this book serves as a passionate call to recognize the value and significance of Persian language and literature. By illuminating its historical context, literary merit, and the obstacles it has faced, the author encourages a deeper appreciation for this rich cultural heritage and its potential to broaden our understanding of the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
