‘Shahnameh for Kids’ published in Russian‎

A collection of stories for children from Ferdowsi’s versified epic ‘Shahnameh’ has been published in the Russian language.

10 volumes of the collection ‘Shahnameh for Children’ have been released in Russian, the author of the production series recently confirmed.

Veteran author and researcher of the literature of children and young adults, Mohammad Reza Yusefi, said that the collection was selected as the ‎Russian Book of the Year in the field of children.‎

Yusefi noted that 50 volumes of the series ‘Shahnameh for Children’ have already been published until now and the other volumes are set to be published gradually.

“Of the 50 volumes published from the collection ‘Shahnameh for Children’, 10 volumes have been selected and translated into Russian by Ms. Lahouti and published in Russia through an active Iranian publisher called Sadra in Russia. These books have recently been selected as the book of the Year of Russia in the field of children,” Yusefi said.

He went on to note that the collection will be translated into other languages, including Hungarian, among others.

Abolqasem Ferdowsi (c. 940–1020) (AKA Ferdowsi) was a Persian poet and the author of ‘Shahnameh’, the world's longest epic poem ever created by a single poet.

Called 'the Savior of Persian Language', the Iranian poet is celebrated as one of the greatest literary figures in the world and the most significant one in Persian literature.

‘Shahnameh’, narrating the brave actions by some legendary Iranian heroes to secure the country, is the national epic of Greater Iran, including the regions of the Caucasus, West Asia, as well as parts of south and central Asia that have been deeply influenced by Iranian culture.
