{"product_id":"faces-of-love","title":"Faces of Love","description":"Acclaimed translator Dick Davis breathes new life into the timeless works of three masters of fourteenth-century Persian literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether, Hafez, a giant of world literature; Jahan Malek Khatun, an eloquent princess; and Obayd-e Zakani, a dissolute satirist, represent one of the most remarkable literary flowerings of any era. All three lived in the famed city of Shiraz, a provincial capital of south-central Iran, and all three drew support from arts-loving rulers during a time better known for its violence than its creative brilliance. Here Dick Davis, an award-winning poet widely considered ''our finest translator of Persian poetry'' (The Times Literary Supplement), presents a diverse selection of some of the best poems by these world-renowned authors and shows us the spiritual and secular aspects of love, in varieties embracing every aspect of the human heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Choice Magazine Outstanding Academic Title for 2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDick Davis is a translator, a poet, and a scholar of Persian literature who has published more than twenty books.
