Too many matters about Hafez and his poems: Hafez Nameh (Persian Edition) [Persian]

By Mehdi Shamshiri

A Very Short Synopsis of the BookThis book is a collection of all, the 12 monthly issues (by the name of Hafez-Nameh) published in the United States (Dallas) in 2008 (from January through December.)In each periodical, one "Ghazal" (a lyrical poem composed of 5- 15 self-contained couplets with a monorhyme,) from the first "Ghazals" of "Divan-e-Hafez," was disscussed in detail. In such discussion, in addition to the meaning of difficult words, explanations and interpretations as well as poetic techniques, other things were also added such as the famous religous and historical stories and myths related to special persons and things mentioned in the "Ghazal" with regard to contempory knowledge and special occasions mentioned therein. Through a deep search in many contemporary events and using other evidences and clues, some factual new findings about the dark corners in Haez's life were also added to the book. Undoubtedly, many of these new findings are so far unknown to the people interested in Hafez's poetry.Some of the issues disscussed in this book are as follows:Stories and Myths:-Korah (Kroesus)-Zohreh (Venus), Harut and Marut (two angels)-The story of Joseph (son of Jacob) and Zulaikha and the reason for naming her as Zulaikha.-The myth of burying new-born female babies in Arabia.- Fojar Wars in Arabia and the birth of Mohammad-The death or the murder of Nu'man bin Monzar ( Appointed King of Hireh by Iran)-Challenging the claim attributing the first couplet of the first "Ghazal" to Yazid-Hafez's adherence to Sufism, for sometime, and then his breaking with it.-The dialogue between Hafez and Amir Teymour GurkhanBiographies:-Shah Shuja' and his relationships with Hafez-Shah Nematollah Vali-Beliani Family and Sheikh Aminuddin Beliani-Inchu Family and Ashrafuddin Mahmoud InchuDefinitions:-Astronomical terms at Hafez's time-Falling stars and Suha (Alcor)-The Seven Planets -Lucky and unlucky stars-The Alexander's mirror-Fatalism and determinism doctrines or something in between-Abdaal (Some unknown friends of God on Earth) -"Turk" with the meaning of "beautiful" -Malamati Sufis (Some pious sufis who tried to hide their good deeds in order to be scorned by other people) Conclusions:-Aquitting Hafiz of some unjust accusations-Real birthdate of Hafez-Hafez's non-adherence to Malamatis-Hafez as a fatalist-Hafez's non-belief in influence of the stars on the mankind's fate-The biggest mistake Hafez made in his life followed by a verdict excommunicating him
