Download or read book HERO STORIES OF RUSTEM The Hero Prince of Persia written by Firdusi/Ferdowsi and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-09-08 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rustem is the most celebrated legendary hero in Shahnameh and Iranian mythology and it is on this volume that the action and adventure movie "The Prince of Persia" was based. The name Rustem is derived from the Persian name Rostam, the name of the epic Persian hero figure who is featured in this volume. In the Shahnameh, Rostam and his predecessors are Marzbans of Sistan which is in present-day Baluchestan (Balòčestàn) Province, Iran. The Hero Tales of Rostem/Rostam rank equally alongside the Spanish epics of el Cid, the French, Song of Roland, the Finnish Väinämöinen who features in the Kalevala, the epic of Finland, of Sigurd and Brynhild in the Norse Volsung saga, the adventures and achievements of Beowulf and of the Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Rostam is always represented as the mightiest of Iranian paladins (holy warriors), and the atmosphere of the episodes in which he features is strongly reminiscent of the Parthian period (247 BC – 224 AD). He was immortalized by the 10th-century Persian poet Ferdowsi in the rather lengthy Shahnameh, or Epic of Kings, which contains pre-Islamic Iranian folklore and history. Rustem is best known for his tragic fight with Esfandiar, the other legendary Iranian hero, for his expedition to Mazandaran (not to be confused with the modern Mazandaran province), and for his mournful fight with his son, Sohrab, who was killed in the battle. Rostam was eventually killed by Shaghad, his half-brother who son the of Zal and Rudaba. This volume features 22 of Rustem's adventures across Persia, Afghanistan and the surrounding lands. He wore a special suit into battle, named Babr-e Bayan. Some of these adventures and feats are: Rustem the Wonder Child Rustem the Young Warrior Rustem’s Seven Labors, or Adventures Rustem the Pehliva Rustem’s Romance The Wrath of Rustem Rustem the Spy Later Feats of Rustem The Combat of Isfendiyar Against Rustem The Death of Rustem ============== KEYWORDS/TAGS: Rustem, Rostam, Persia, Iran, Folklore, fairytales, myths, legends, children’s stories, Silk Route, Iraq, east, castles, Shah, Padishah, King, treasure, riches, Kavah, Blacksmith, Feridoun the Glorious, Irij, Gentle Hero, Minuchir, Avenger, Zal, White Hair, Wonder Child, Young Warrior, Seven Labors, Adventures, Escapades, the Pehliva, Romance, Youth, Sohrab, Warrior Maiden, Wrath of Rustem, Spy, Combat, Against Rustem, Siawush, Persian Sir Galahad, Avenger, Gew, Help, Hero-prince, Throne, Later Feats, Isfendiyar’s Seven Labors, Heft-Khan, Death of Rustem, Prince of Persia, Shanemah

Download or read book San Francisco written by Anita Loos and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story of the San Francisco Tenderloin and the 1906 earthquake centers on four strongly drawn characters played by four major stars. The lead, of course, is Clark Gable as Blackie Norton. The prototype for Gable's role was Wilson Mizner, a gambler from the Barbary Coast and a close friend of Miss Loos. Mizner embodied the "imagination and braggadocio" that Loos saw as characteristic of San Francisco. Gable is perfect. His Blackie Norton is a gallant rogue, witty, full of vitality. San Franciscois a lusty celebration of life. Jeanette MacDonald as Mary Blake is an innocent young beauty who enters Norton's iniquitous den and emerges unsullied, who in fact cleans up both den and denmaster. She is an opera singer forced to belt out bawdy songs in the Tenderloin. She triumphs, mostly through the support of Spencer Tracy, who plays Father Tim Mullin. Tracy's Mullin is tough, full of life, big enough to love good more fiercely than he condemns evil. And evil in the screenplay is not really so bad. It is Jack Holt as slumlord Jack Burley, whose major crime is puniness of spirit. Like the previous books in the Screenplay Library series--Raymond Chandler's Blue Dahlia and F. Scott Fitzgerald's screenplay for Erich Maria Remarque's Three Comrades--the script published here is the original version and includes all added scenes and retakes. Its publication is intended for the general reader interested in the film as literature and for students of film and film writing.
