(persia) Nezami

81K0

The long love narrative poem "Reilly and Majnun" is based on an Arab folk tale. It describes the love tragedy of a pair of common young people. Their love is not tolerated by society. It is quite similar to the Chinese story of Butterfly Lovers. In the end, Leili was forced to marry another woman and died of sorrow, and Majnun also died in love in front of her tomb. Nezami touches on important issues such as the value of life and the liberation of personality with delicate and euphemistic writing.
