‘History of Persian Literature’ published in Istanbul
A book, covering an imperative epoch of the history of Persian literature, has been published in Turkish language in Istanbul.
The book entitled The History of Persian Literature from Early Times to Ghaznavid Era is authored by Mehmet Atalay, a professor of Persian literature at University of Istanbul.
The first chapter of the book scrutinizes the history of literature in pre-Islamic era in Iran. It takes a literary journey from the Medes, Persians, and Achaemenid Empire to Alexandrian era, Seleucid and Parthian Empire.
In its second chapter, the book reviews the evolution of the Persian literature in post-Islamic era, which led to its ultimate parade during Tahirid and Safavid dynasties, and, particularly, Samanid Empire, which was the birthplace of Rudaki, the father of modern Persian poetry.
Sponsored by Iran’s cultural attaché in Istanbul, Atalay’s 280-page literary book is published and distributed by Damavand Publication in Istanbul.
In recent months, some of the most notable Persian scriptures, belonging to the grand libraries of Istanbul such as Raqib Pasha, Halet Efendi, and Hakim Oghlu, and the first volume of Teaching Persian Language to Turkish Speakers have been also published in Turkey.
To that effect, The History of Persian Literature from Early Days to Our Time is expected to be published in four or five volumes soon. It has been complied by a group of professors at the department of Persian language and literature at University of Istanbul.
