Summary:

"The internationally celebrated Persian fiction writer in 20th century, Sadeq Hedayat (1903-1951), was know as a secular intellectual whose controversial views on religion gained him both distractors and supporters in Iran, both during his life and even today. This volume explores Hedayat's views on Islam, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, and Buddhism through his short stories, novels and plays, and translations of some of his most important works pertaining to those views."
