Abstract

Shahnameh is one of the best Iranian cultural heritage sources and one
of the literary master works in the world. This book is full of moral, cultural
and deductive teaching which are of great benefit not only to adults but
also
adolescents who need to be familiar with Shahnameh to get acquainted with
their national identity. Shahnameh familiarizes adolescents with the
civilization, cultural and glorious history of Iran. This familiarity
necessitates innovative rewriting of
this valuable work. This study thus aims
to compare a number of regenerated texts of Shahnameh in terms of the
major story principles, (plot, characterization, theme and point of view) to
investigate the differences and similarities of the structures of th
e original
texts with the regenerated ones in order to determine principles and
methods of innovative regeneration and simplification beneficial to
adolescents
