by Elham Dabiran (Author)

The book "From the Old Land" is a summary of the Ferdowsi's Shahnameh tales. Elham Dabiran, the Compiler of this book tried to convert the stories from verse to prose in the book. The language used in the writing of the book is simple and fluent. The compiler's self-point of view is avoided in the process of tales and concepts in order to keep the faithfulness of Ferdowsi's point of view. The compiler's effort was choosing to use simple and common words to attract the attention of the audience to the concepts and beauties of Ferdowsi's song instead of using complicated words so that it can be understandable for readers. As reading Shahnameh and complete understanding of its concepts are difficult and time-consuming for most of the Iranian youths and nowadays generation due to the large volume of contents and difficulty of its verse language, it makes double the worth of the book "From the Old Land".
