Saeed Talajooy's book, The One Thousand and First Night, commended by BBC Persian

Saeed Talajooy’s translation and analysis book, The One Thousand and First Night, has been selected by BBC Persian as one of the ten important books published in the last Iranian year 1401 (20 March 2022- 19 March 2023).

The book features a new approach to distribution of research for non-European languages. It contains a translation of Bahram Beyzaie’s ‘The One Thousand and One Night’ and a full-length analytical piece which introduces the play’s emancipatory aesthetics, the origins and evolution of the multiple forms and narratives that it reformulates and Beyzaie’s mythopoetic celebration of roles that male and female intellectuals have played in the current women movement in Iran and the continuity of Iranian culture.
