Text

The play was composed in 1982, with identifiable inspirations from Macbeth, and first published in Tehran early in 1984 by Damavand Publishing.[1] Later it was published by Beyzai's exclusive publisher, Roshangaran. The same publisher printed Manucher Anvar's English translation in 2016.[2]

Plot

The story is of two generals in the Mongol conquest of Khwarezmia and their disputes over the accession of Kalat (or even more likely Kalat-e Naderi) and its ultimate conquest by the Alans.[1]
