Description
"A giant of world literature, an eloquent princess, a dissolute satirist {u2013} these are the three voices translated from fourteenth-century Persian by Dick Davis in Faces of Love. Together, they represent one of the most remarkable literary flowerings of any era. All three {u2013} Hafez, Jahan Malek Khatun, and Obayd-e Zakani {u2013} lived in Shiraz, a provincial capital in south-central Iran, and all drew support from arts-loving rulers at a time better known for invasions and political violence. Love was a frequent subject of their work: spiritual as well as secular, in varieties embracing every aspect of the human heart." - from the publisher's website.
