À propos de ce contenu audio

 In this poignant tale, a young soldier of Tartar descent, unknowingly sired by the illustrious Persian hero Rustum, yearns to connect with his father. Serving in the Tartar army, he convinces his general to broker a truce, allowing him to challenge the Persians to single combat. Little does he know, his mother, fearing for his life, has misled Rustum into believing their child is a girl. As fate intertwines, the Persians find themselves without a champion until Rustum, contemplating retirement, steps forward to defend them—albeit incognito. What unfolds is a gripping duel laden with tragic irony, as father and son unknowingly face each other in a battle that could lead to devastation for both. This epic narrative captures the essence of dramatic irony, resembling Oedipus Rex, yet it holds the potential for a joyous resolution, should the two warriors uncover their bond before it’s too late. (Summary by T. A. Copeland)Copyright Legends & Fairy Tales Drames et pièces de théâtre
