Product DescriptionIn the village of Pasurxi, near Boysunin the Surxandaryo region of contemporary Uzbekistan, a vivid oral tradition exists on the basis of stories from the Persian Book of Kings orohnoma (Shahnama), composed more than a thousand years ago by the poet Firdavsi (Ferdowsi). These stories deal with the hero Barzu who is presented in the stories from Boysun as the offspring of Suhrob, one of the most tragic heroes of theohnoma, and his father, the legendary champion Rustam, ruler of Sistan. The storytellers Jura Kamol and Mullo Ravan composed two different versions of the story of Barzu in Tajik. The storieshave been recorded, transcribed and analysed by Ravshan Rahmoniand translated by Gabrielle van den Berg. About the AuthorRavshan Rahmoni is professor of Tajik literature at the University of Dushanbe, Tajikistan. Gabrielle van den Berg is lecturer in Persian at Leiden University.
