Narration Toward Books The Blind Owl

Considered the most important work of modern Iranian literature, The Blind Owl is a haunting tale of loss and spiritual degradation. Replete with potent symbolism and terrifying surrealistic imagery, Sadegh Hedayat's masterpice details a young man's despair after losing a mysterious lover. And as the author gradually drifts into frenzy and madness, the reader becomes caught in the sandstorm of Hedayat's bleak vision of the human condition. The Blind Owl, which has been translated into many foreign languages, has often been compared to the writing of Edgar Allan Poe.

Notice Containing Books The Blind Owl

"In Iran of the 1950's, at school, and at home, young people were advised to stay away from the works of Sadeq Hedayat, epecially his Blind Owl. A few young people had strayed from this rule and, reportedly, had committed suicide."*A nightmare from beginning to end and that's cause the cosmic drama of death & rebirth, the allegory of desire and its renunciation that Hedayat so masterfully crafts in the brief pages of a novella, are a nightmare in themselves.If you thought that Invention of

If pressed, I think I would most often pick the Blind Owl as my favourite book I've ever read more often than anything else. Such grand statements are naturally subject to change, and when trying to select a book that you consider as the very best one ever, you reach beyond the normal parameters of judgement. The Blind Owl was perhaps one of the most draining books I've ever read, it lasted me only a couple of days (I'd make an educated guess that it's not much more than 50-55,000 words long),

The loneliness and the solitude that lurked behind me were like a condensed, thick, eternal night, like one of those nights with a dense, persistent, sticky darkness

It gave me nightmares.

Owls, particularly screech owls, which is what the Blind Owl refers to, are harbingers of death the world over: no less so in Persian folklore. Considering the morose obsession with death within the novel, following which Hedayat committed suicide, it reads like a last will and testament with hindsight.In its entirety, this is one spectacular hallucogenic trip triggered by opium, tempered with brief moments of withdrawal when the nameless narrator (none of the characters within are named, btw)

This bleak but brilliant collection of stories opens with Hedayat's best-known work, 'The Blind Owl', a surreal tale of love and death. The narrative is circular and intense, with recurring themes and images that relate to all the senses - a girl bites her nails, drunken soldiers sing a particular song, the taste of bitter cucumber lingers on the skin - as the reader tries to distinguish truth from illusion, or insanity. It is powerful and puzzling, a great opener to the collection.For its
