Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

The Iskandarnama (Classical Persian: اسکندرنامه Iskandarnāma, lit. 'Book of Alexander') is a poetic production in the Alexander Romance tradition authored by the Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi (d. 1209) that describes Alexander the Great as an idealized hero, sage, and king. More uniquely, he is also a seeker of knowledge who debates with great Greek and Indian philosophers, one of them being Plato. The poem is the fourth part of the Khamsa of Nizami, a posthumous collection of five of Nizami's major works. It consists of two main and independent parts: the Sharaf-nama (Book of Glory) followed by the Iqbal-nama (Book of Fortune) (though the names are reversed in some copies). Both are written in rhymed couplets. In India, the two sections are known as the Eskandar-(or Sekandar-) nāma-ye barrī and baḥrī respectively. It was likely completed by 1194.
