In the midst of this turbulence, normal life carries on in the beautiful courtyard of Zari's house, in the rituals she imposes upon herself and in her attempt to keep the family safe from external events. But the corruption engendered by occupation is pervasive - some try to profit as much as possible from it, others look towards communism for hope, while yet others resort to opium. Finally even Zari's attempts to maintain normal family life are shattered as disaster strikes.
An immensely moving story, A Persian Requiem is also a powerful indictment of the corrupting effects of colonialism.
A Persian Requiem, published in 1969 in Iran, was the first novel written by an Iranian woman and, sixteen reprints and half a million copies later, it remains the most widely read Persian novel. In Iran it helped shape the ideas and attitudes of a generation in its revelation of the factors that contributed to the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Published here in a different translation under the Persian title Savushun, it is now available in the original English translation by Roxane Zand.
Simin Daneshvar was born into a provincial, middle-class family in Shiraz in 1921, and educated at a missionary school and later at Tehran University. The comparatively relaxed political environment of the forties in Iran led her to choose journalism as her first career, and she began writing fiction at the same time. She subsequently married Jalal Al-e Ahmad, the leading Iranian intellectual and writer, received her doctorate from Tehran University and won a Fulbright scholarship to Stanford University. Upon her return to Iran she became an associate professor of art history at Tehran University. She was an articulate and outspoken lecturer and her promotion was hindered by Savak, the secret police.
After her husband's untimely death in 1969, Daneshvar assumed a leading role in the Writer's Association which he had helped found and she provided moral support for intellectuals opposing the Shah's regime. After the Revolution in 1979, she retired from her University post. Since then, she has kept a low profile while continuing to write fiction and remaining deeply committed to her life-long concern with women and their role in Iranian society.
