About the author
Abolqasem Ferdowsi
383 books338 followersAbolqasem Ferdowsi (Persian: ابوالقاسم فردوسی), the son of a wealthy land owner, was born in 935 in a small village named Paj near Tus in Khorasan which is situated in today's Razavi Khorasan province in Iran.
He devoted more than 35 years to his great epic, the Shāhnāmeh. It was originally composed for presentation to the Samanid princes of Khorasan, who were the chief instigators of the revival of Iranian cultural traditions after the Arab conquest of the seventh century. Ferdowsi started his composition of the Shahnameh in the Samanid era in 977 A.D. During Ferdowsi's lifetime the Samanid dynasty was conquered by the Ghaznavid Empire. After 30 years of hard work, he finished the book and two or three years after that, Ferdowsi went to Ghazni, the Ghaznavid capital, to present it to the king, Sultan Mahmud.
Ferdowsi is said to have died around 1020 in poverty at the age of 85, embittered by royal neglect, though fully confident of his work's ultimate success and fame, as he says in the verse:
" ... I suffered during these thirty years, but I have revived the Iranians (Ajam) with the Persian language; I shall not die since I am alive again, as I have spread the seeds of this language ..."

قبلاً در مورد کتاب «غمنامهی رستم سهراب» که از همین نویسندگان بود نوشتم نکتهی جالب کتاب قسمت دیدگاهها راجع به شاهنامه و داستان مورد بحثه. حالا توی این کتاب قسمت معرفی فردوسی و دیدگاههای راجع به شاهنامه عیناً تکرار شده در ابتدا و چند دیدگاه هم از کتابهای دیگه مثلاً یکی دو صفحه از کتاب «مقدمهی رستم و اسفندیار» شاهرخ مسکوب اومده. در مورد خود رستم و اسفندیار هم که داستان و معنی ابیاتش در این کتاب اومده در ریویوو کتابهای دیگه نوشتم و تکرار نمیکنم.
