Title: Layli and Majnun Author: Nezami Ganjavi, Dick Davis - translator introduction Narrator: Dick Davis, Peter Ganim, Serena Manteghi, Sean Rohani Format: mp3 Length: 7 hrs and 37 mins Release date: 02-09-21 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 11 ratings Genres: Ancient, Classical & Medieval Literature Publisher's Summary: The iconic love story of the Middle East, by a 12th-century Persian poet who has been compared to Shakespeare for his subtlety, inventiveness, and dramatic force, Layli and Majnun tells of star-crossed lovers whose union is tragically thwarted by their families and whose passion continues to ripple out across the centuries. Theirs is a love that lasts a lifetime, and in Nezami's immortal telling, erotic longing blends with spiritual self-denial in an allegory of Sufi aspiration, as the amenities of civilization give way to the elemental wilderness.
