Description: Tales are expressions of imaginations, beliefs and experiences of people from the world they have lived in and they are dreams of better and more humane times and places free from daemons and malicious entities, a world that appears at the end of each tale.
Tales from Xorasan is the first volume from a collection entitled Tales from Iranian World. The plan is to publish selected tales from those lands which fall in the greater realm of Iranian Culture. The source for this first volume is a collection of 15 books by our dear friend Hamid Reza Xazai, who has collected those stories and tales from many villages and towns in the Xorasan Province of Iran with his personal investment of time and tireless effort. That series has been published in Mashhad by Māh-Jān Publishing. Xazai has generously and passionately given us permission to rewrite and republish some of those materials in this book.
The translation of these tales into English, and a little later into French, both opens a door to our culture for people from other cultures and serves as a reminder of their cultural roots for the children of Iran who are living away from their ancestral homeland and its language.
