Divan of Parvin E'tesami

The collected poems of Parvin E'tesami, the celebrated Iranian woman poet of the early twentieth century. She is best loved for her verse dialogues, in which everyday things and creatures argue with one another to draw out a moral point. Her clear, classical language speaks of justice, compassion for the poor, honest work and the worth of knowledge. Suitable for young readers and adults alike. The text is in Persian (Farsi/Dari).
