The definitive translation by Dick Davis of the great national epic of Iran-now newly revised and expanded to be the most complete English-language editionA Penguin Classic Dick Davis-"our pre-eminent translator from the Persian" (The Washington Post)-has revised and expanded his acclaimed translation of Ferdowsi's masterpiece, adding more than 100 pages of newly translated text.
