Nizami Ganjavi – The Seven Beauties (Behram Şah Sarayında Yedi Prenses) – Yurt Yayınları 2004 Edition – Turkish

Description:

Nizami Ganjavi’s The Seven Beauties is one of the great classical works of Persian literature and part of his celebrated Khamsa. The poem centers on Bahram Gur, the legendary Sasanian king, whose life and adventures are intertwined with seven princesses from different lands.

The story is particularly famous for the seven domed pavilions, each associated with a princess and a different color and symbolic world. Bahram visits each pavilion on a different day of the week, where he hears a story told by one of the princesses. These tales combine romance, adventure, wisdom, morality, and the imaginative traditions of Persian literature.

Heft Peyker is both a romantic and philosophical work, exploring themes of love, human character, destiny, beauty, wisdom, and the education of a ruler. The stories within the larger narrative give the work a rich structure and make it one of the most distinctive masterpieces of medieval Persian literary tradition.

This Turkish edition was published by Yurt Yayınları in 2004. For collectors of Turkish editions of classical Eastern literature, Persian poetry, and mythology, this volume offers an accessible presentation of one of Nizami Ganjavi’s most celebrated works.
