The Most Beautiful Book Ever MadeHinzugefügt:
Some call it the most beautiful book ever made. Looking at it, it is hard to disagree. The Shahnameh is Iran's national [music] epic. 50,000 verses of kings, heroes, and monsters. Every ruler who wanted to prove they belonged on the throne commissioned a version. This one, made for Shah Tahmasp in the 16th century, is the one that ended the argument. Battles that feel like music.
Grief painted in gold. Gardens that still [music] breathe.
A man's life is but a breath. Ferdowsi wrote that. These artists [music] had a different idea.
