style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Simurgh is a free adaptation of style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>The Conference of the Birds, a Persian
classic written in late 12th century by astyle='mso-spacerun:yes'> mystic poet named Attar.


All the birds of the world gather before Hoopoe to seek her advice in
finding their divine king. Hoopoe
informs them that they could unite with the King (Simurgh) on a very distant
mountain, but the journey would be extremely hazardous.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Only through love, faith, and self-denial the
pilgrims could achieve their goal.

Thousands of birds give up their
familiar world to search for Simurgh with Hoopoe.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> After traveling seven treacherous continents,
only thirty birds reach the promised mountain and realize that Simurgh is none
other than themselves!

While maintaining the spirit of
the original work, Simurgh presents a
more informative and enticing story for contemporary readers. Ten primary birds
have been revised and twenty more carefully studied and added to the characters
for the purpose of diversity. The seven Spiritual
Valleys of the original narrative
have been replaced with the seven continents of the world for
simplification.

Simurgh is a philosophical adventure tale that combines fantasy
with fact, humor with wisdom, and novelty with spirituality.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> The storys universal appeal goes beyond all
ages.
