An accessible modern Persian rendering of the Seventeen Hāts of the Gathas, the oldest and most revered part of the Avesta traditionally associated with Zarathustra.

This book presents a clear and reflective reading of these ancient hymns for today's reader, bringing their central themes-truth, good mind, moral choice, responsibility, and the struggle between light and falsehood-into approachable contemporary Persian.

Rather than offering a strict word-for-word scholarly translation, this work is a thoughtful and respectful rendering designed to help Persian readers engage more directly with the spirit, ethical vision, and intellectual depth of the Gathas.

In addition to the text of the Hāts, the book includes an introduction, contextual sections on Zarathustra, Ahura Mazda, and the Avesta, explanatory notes, and a glossary of key concepts.

A serious and readable gateway to one of the oldest surviving voices of Iranian spiritual and philosophical thought.
