Special issues

It is good to find that Parsiana, now and again, devotes its entire issues to certain subjects:

July 2001 focussed on Qissa-i-Sanjan; July 2002 has been entirely devoted to Arda Viraf Nameh.

May I suggest that Parsiana devote a future issue to giving a life sketch of Firdausi Toosi, the immortal bard of Iran and any of the stories from his Persian epic Shahnameh? It could be the tragic death of Sorab at the hands of his illustrious father, Rustom, or any other tale from the epic that would grip the attention of its readers.

Our March 2002 issue of Parsiana carried a cover story on the Shahnameh (see "The pride of Iran”). Carrying excerpts from the epic would not be feasible due to its excessive length.
