The book is a translation of the Gathas, a collection of hymns attributed to the prophet Zarathustra (also known as Zoroaster), the founder of the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism.

The book includes a detailed introduction to Zoroastrianism and the Gathas, as well as a glossary of terms and a bibliography for further reading.
