Fables, Allegories and Tales

Meer over het boek

This collection features a variety of fables and allegories that use animals to mirror human behaviors and cultural traits of Iranians, often infused with dark humor. The stories explore themes of judgment, democracy, and moral hypocrisy through clever narratives, such as a jackass judging birds and wolves explaining democracy to a sheep. Other tales depict a cunning crook's dual life, a henpecked man's escapade, and a father's quest during the Iran-Iraq war, all highlighting societal issues and the absurdities of life under a repressive regime.
