"Kourroglou" by George Sand is an epic poem translated from Persian, written during the early 19th century. The work explores the life of Kourroglou, a legendary bandit and minstrel from northern Persia, whose adventures resonate with themes of valor, vengeance, and artistry in storytelling. The narrative offers an introduction to Kourroglou's character, highlighting his poetic talent as well as his reputation as a fearless outlaw. At the start of "Kourroglou," readers are introduced to the background of the titular character, originally named Roushan, who is the son of Mirza-Serraf, a chief horseman. After a tyrannical prince unjustly blinds his father, Roushan vows to take revenge, which sets him on a path of heroism as he adopts the name Kourroglou and becomes a national figure symbolizing rebellion and folklore. The opening recounts how he acquires his remarkable horse, Kyrat, and delves into his ambition and desires for justice. The passage captures Kourroglou's transformation from a youthful son to a legendary figure capable of commanding respect and terror among his adversaries, setting the stage for his poetic and adventurous exploits against the backdrop of Persian culture.
