The Fidelity of Time
A historical drama set in the court of Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni, depicting Ferdowsi's struggle to immortalize Persian glory through the 'Shahnameh'. Ameen Rihani explores the conflict between the creator and power, the intrigues that denied him his reward, and the artist's pride. This philosophical work highlights the triumph of the spirit over matter, proving that time is the ultimate judge that grants immortality to creators while the thrones of kings crumble.
