2.0 out of 5 stars
Zoroaster: Life and Work of the forerunner in Iran, April 11, 2005
This review is from: Zoroaster : Life and Work of the Forerunner in Iran (Forerunners S) (Paperback)
Two stars at best for a book that is almost complete fiction. The problem is that anyone who has not studied Zoroaster (Zarathustra) gross fiction and misinformation in this book might hinder them from reading other books about the Zoroastrian Faith. This would be a tragedy. Zoroaster changed the spiritual direction of Man's thought even though, like most religions, the faith headed down hill after his accent.

This review is from: Zoroaster : Life and Work of the Forerunner in Iran (Forerunners S) (Paperback)
great book if you are interested in the spiritual side and also the folklore ( not accurate but best definition I could come up with) of Zorastianism and not the historical perspective ( which is hard to validate). In addition, the book is written like a story which makes it easier to read.
Most likely, the story told and the life of zoraster may not be accurate since detailed information is not available.
The only drawback is lack of details on Avesta and the Gathas.
