George Who?
Libraries are filled with volumes detailing the lives of famous outstanding men and women . . . Parks are full of their statues . . . impressive buildings, airports, and streets bear their names . . . However, few manuscripts are intended to describe the life and times of a common or ordinary man living in some random slice of time. This writing is an attempt to give the reader a view of the life and times of a so-called common man who lived in the twentieth century—unknown for great deeds, wealth, great intellect, discovery, or, for that matter any great thing of merit. This is the autobiographical story of such a man.

The Words of the Imams
Ibn Babawayh – also known as al-Shaykh al-Saduq – was a prominent Twelver Shi'i scholar of hadith. Writing within the first century after the vanishing of the twelfth imam, al-Saduq represents a pivotal moment in Twelver hadith literature, as this Shi'i community adjusted to a world without a visible imam and guide, a world wherein the imams could only be accessed through the text of their remembered words and deeds. George Warner's study of al-Saduq's work examines the formation of Shi'i hadith literature in light of these unique dynamics, as well as giving a portrait of an important but little-studied early Twelver thinker. Though almost all of al-Saduq's writings are collections of hadith, Warner's approach pays careful attention to how these texts are selected and presented to explore what they can reveal about their compiler, offering insight into al-Saduq's ideas and suggesting new possibilities for the wider study of hadith.
The Shahnama of Firdausi
This set examines the history and culture of Persia through its rich language and literature. It includes Griffith's translation of Jami's outstanding work, Yusuf and Zulaikha. The Warner brothers nine-volume triumph represents one of the first attempts to provide the subject matter of the great epic, Shahnama in English; and Haug's foundational essays present all the materials needed for understanding the scriptures and religion of the Parsis.
