Fiction

Mage Publishers has brought two of the greatest classic Persian novels to English readers: Savushun by Simin Daneshvar and My Uncle Napoleon by Iraj Pezeshkzad. Mage's fiction collection also includes Stories from Iran, a remarkable anthology featuring works from some of Iran’s most celebrated writers, such as M. A. Jamalzadeh, Sadeq Hedayat, Ebrahim Golestan, Shahrnush Parsipur, Mahmud Dowlatabadi, and many others. Spanning 75 years, these stories trace pivotal moments in Iranian history—from the Constitutional Revolution (1906–11) to the Pahlavi era (1925–79), the upheavals of the 1950s, the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and beyond—providing readers with a literary lens into the nation’s evolving social and cultural landscape.
