It tells mainly the mythical and to some extent the historical past of the Persian Empire from the creation of the world until the Arab conquest of Iran in the 7th century. The Shahnameh is commonly divided into three sections: myths, legends and history. Its diversity, complexity and profoundness ,the timeless themes of power, love and fidelity, together make The Epic of King one of the most compelling and memorable works of world literature. This book has entertained generations of readers and profoundly shaped Persian culture, society, and politics.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/2/35/728/479/235728479X_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "19.99", "online_price" : "19.99", "our_price" : "19.99", "club_price" : "19.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
