Expanding the Plot[edit]
Hello all,
I have expanded the plot section to add relevant details on the progression of the story. I intend to summarize the entire plot from start to finish, since the old Plot section only included the first 21/400 pages of the text. However because of the story's length, I will be doing so in several sessions.
I am a big fan of the story (of anything Persian TBH) and have/will be referencing both Aziz Ansary's and Darius Reshvani's English-language translations. I also intend to add historical context with sources so that English-only speakers can learn in-depth about the epic from this page. Many of the Persian terms are not familiar to the U.S. audience and as a result the story can feel flat and alien. My goal is to bring increase cultural understanding of the epic and hopefully increase the story's popularity in the U.S. as a result. An understanding of the geographical and political environment at the time the story was transcribed for the first time will enhance an understanding of the text.
If I find any more English translations of the text I will add them to this page as well. Basically my goal is just to turn this into a full-fledged page to the best of my ability.
Thank you! I look forward to hearing what you think of the changes. Iloveschiaparelli (talk) 05:28, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
