  Sadegh Hedayat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sadegh (or Sadeq) Hedayat (in Persian: صادق هدایت; February 17, 1903 9 April 1951) was Iran's foremost modern writer of prose fiction and short stories.
Hedayat subsequently devoted his whole life to studying Western literature and to learning and investigating Iranian history and folklore.
In his latter years, feeling the socio-political problems of the time, Hedayat started attacking the two major causes of Iran’s decimation, the monarchy and the clergy, and through his stories he tried to impute the deafness and blindness of the nation to the abuses of these two major powers.

 This paper was presented at the Melbourne's, Australia, International Writers Festival in September 2003
Sadegh Hedayat, the reclusive but rather controversial Iranian writer, was born in a highly respected and cultured aristocratic Iranian family in 1903 in Tehran.
Hedayat started attacking the two major causes of Iran's dominations, the monarchy and the fundamentalists, and through his stories he tried to capture the deafness and blindness of the nation to the abuse of these forces.
Hedayat's critical views are written in his rather surrealistic and symbolic style, and they are satirical and tragic insights into the Iranian psyche and manners.

 The Blind Owl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is considered Hedayat's masterpiece and was not published in Iran until 1941.
It was originally published in limited edition in Bombay, during Hedayat's year-long stay there in 1937, stamped with "Not for sale or publication in Iran." It first appeared in Tehran in 1941 (as a serial in the daily Iran), after Reza Shah's abdication, and had an immediate and forceful effect.
The Blind Owl was translated by Roger Lescot during WWII, apparently with Hedayat's knowledge and approval, and published as La Chouette Aveugle (1953), and later by Pasteur Vallery Radot, a member of the French Academy, and was well received in French literary circles.

Hedayat lived during a very historically significant period of time in Iran, during the reign of Reza Shah, and, although the country was never formally colonised, two imperial powers -- the British and the Russians -- nevertheless had much economic control over it.
Hedayat's exposure to the West left him in turmoil, because his suicide has been interpreted as "a symptom of his inability to cope with the differences between his own culture and that of Europe" (Rahimieh 16).
In relation to Hedayat, ale Ahmad goes on to urge that the author's pessimism and confusion was his "inspiration for seeking refuge in the representation of the strange and preternatural (i.e., eccentrism)" (94).

 Hedayat
Hedayat was born in Tehran on February 17, 1903, to a northern Iranian aristocratic family.
Hedayat thought the individual capable of undertaking to end rebirth and he followed this line of thought to the end of his life.
Hedayat's death then could well have been the result of a difficult moment, such as the 1927 incident, or a well-thought-out plan to leave this world before old age set in.

 SYMBOLISM OF WOMEN IN SADEGH HEDAYAT'S BLIND OWL
The central theme of the story is an attempt toward the resolution of the writer/narrator's dualistic experiences of the real versus unreal, the sensual against the spiritual and death as opposed to life.
It should also be noted that men of Hedayats' era, for the first time in Iranian history, witnessed the transformation of the traditional Iranian women into the modern twentieth century women.
Hedayat's association of women with death, his inability to deal with realism through the dreadfulness of the tragic, and a paranoid attitude accompanying his inability to tolerate and accept his own mortal reality, indicates a form of dissociation from reality which serves as a clue to his existence problem.

 Profesor Rafael Robles
The early works of Sadeq Hedayat were exemplars of such nostalgic romanticism that sought to recover Iran’s assumed “Aryan purity” by attributing all impurities to the Semite Arabs.
In Hedayat’s critical realist fiction, on the other hand, the portrayal of both men and women is normal and realistic.
It suggests, instead that Hedayat attemps a radical \'recasting\' of Persian tradition itself, channeling recurrent conventonal images and themes of the clasical legacy into the paradigms of psychological affliction, shared by modernist writings from the first half of the twentieth century.

He argued that Iranian culture produced nothing of substance except a group of fanatical either nationalist or religious zealot thinkers without anything to enrich the cultural and social life of the Iranians.
Hedayat started attacking the two major causes of Iran's dominations, the monarch and the fanatical clergy, and through his stories he tried to capture the deafness and blindness of the nation to the abuse of these forces.
It is important to look at the contribution he has made for us to study and criticise from within the landscape he paints of the Iranians he knows, as well as their unique idiosyncrasies.

In the second article San’ati explains how our Culture of Death has evolved during the time and how Hedayat mocked this culture with his own exclusive satire.
Strangely, Iranians generally believe that Hedayat demonstrates death in the society and hence they sometimes ban their children to read his books, or try not to put his books in the schools’ libraries.

What lead me to undertake the following translation was not a desire to resurrect the argument over Sadegh Hedayat's opinion of our national music.
To try to definitively establish such a fact would be to assume that this emotional issue was resolved for Hedayat himself and that he eventually arrived at some conclusive views in his evaluation of Iranian music.
I had heard that even someone like Sadegh Hedayat also at times feigned a kind of disgust for our national music.
