Informationen zum Autor Peter Avery OBE, was born in Derby, England, in 1923. One of today's most eminent Persian scholars, he was for years Lecturer in Persian Studies in the University of Cambridge where he still lives. His works include A translation of The Ruba'iyat Of Omar Khayyam, with poet John Heath-Stubbs, and The Speech of the Birds, the Mantiqu't-tair of Faridu'd Din. Klappentext Hfiz is honored as the greatest lyric poet of Iran and the Dvn-i Hfiz, his collected poetry, is without doubt one of the worlds greatest literary achievements. Translated here from the edition of Parvz Ntl Khnlar, the 486 poems have been rendered as literally as possible while trying to convey some sense of the original poetry to the reader who lacks knowledge of Persian. The ghazals are introduced and presented with extensive annotation by one of todays most eminent scholars of Persian literature.
