## Description

"It was a refreshing, old-fashioned pleasure to read Julie Scott Meisami’s verse translation of, and introduction and notes to, this twelfth-century Persian allegorical romance." —Orhan Pahmuk, in the Times Literary Supplement

Review: Wonderful poetic translation - I've read the original Persian growing up in Iran. The English translation is truly amazing. The essence of Nizami's magical and colorful poetry is so well reflected.
Review: Persian poetic masterpiece reflecting previously high Iranian culture's imprisonment in the narrow dungeon of barbarous Islam. - It's apparently a good translation of a classical Persian work, which like so many things of that region, seems to be aching to escape from the straight-jacket of closed-minded narrow Islamic dogma.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful poetic translation
*by A***R on August 13, 2021*

I've read the original Persian growing up in Iran. The English translation is truly amazing. The essence of Nizami's magical and colorful poetry is so well reflected.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Persian poetic masterpiece reflecting previously high Iranian culture's imprisonment in the narrow dungeon of barbarous Islam.
*by E***R on August 5, 2017*

It's apparently a good translation of a classical Persian work, which like so many things of that region, seems to be aching to escape from the straight-jacket of closed-minded narrow Islamic dogma.

### ⭐ Low quality paper Hackett publication
*by O***S on August 4, 2026*

Extremely low quality print, considering this is a Hackett publication. The print is hazy, low pigment as if printed on a home printer. I know these are sometimes printed on site, but this should not excuse the quality of a product that more approximate a cheap newspaper print than a book. This is not a review of the content, rather of the publication quality for a product of its cost.
