🇮🇷 Persian graded reader
لیلی و مجنون
Leyli and Majnun
A boy and a girl exchange one glance in a desert schoolroom, and the boy's heart is never his own again — until the whole of Arabia calls him Majnun, the madman. Nizami's twelfth-century masterpiece of impossible love, retold in fresh modern Persian prose: gazelles freed for the sake of a pair of eyes, a war fought for a bride, letters written in tears. Eighteen chapters that carry you from A2 to B1.
