Zarathustra: A Historical Novel

Zarathustra was a brave prophet who lived in Persia around 800 BCE. In search of converts, he freqently traversed the Persian steppes in winter and climbed ancient Persia's and Azerbaijan's highest mountains. He ascended to paradise and met God, whom he knew as Ahura Mazda. In a culture of polytheism, his belief in One God compelled him to dedicate his life to overcoming the forces of darkness, creating a new religion, now known as Zoroastrianism. This is an exciting, inspiring story set in a forgotten but fascinating era. It is the story of Zarathustra, his beautiful and loyal wives, and his patron, the good King Vishtaspa.
