Special programs will be held at the academic centers and the Persian Language and Literature faculties of different universities across the country on May 15 to honor architect of the Persian language and great poet, Ferdowsi.
Hakim Abolqasem Ferdowsi (940–1020 CE) is a highly revered Persian poet. He is the author of the Shahnameh, the national epic of Iran and related societies.
Ferdowsi is best known for his literary epic Shahnameh, to which he devoted most of his life.
Shahnameh was written at the end of the tenth century and the beginning of the eleventh century CE.
Ferdowsi lived at a critical historical period and so his book not only reflects the uncertainties and challenges of the era but his own resilience and determination in creation of a stable Persian literary identity.
