first section is the author's analyses, part of
which deals with the "essence of
heroics" found in the legend of Rustam (the
epic hero of the 11 century Book of Kings),
Puria-ye Vali, and Takhti (the latter two being
popular street heroes, one from the older times
and the second more recent), and another part
