Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ließ sich in seinen späteren Jahren von der persischen Dichtkunst beflügeln. Besonders angetan war er von Hafis, den er gar seinen „Zwilling im Geiste“ nannte.

Dieses Hörbuch stellt ausgewählte Gedichte aus Goethes West-östlichem Divan atmosphärisch ihren Inspirationen aus dem Alten Persien gegenüber.
