Best Persian Books

My favorite hobby is reading!

Great books have this magical power to take you to another world. All you have to do is to sit in a comfortable place, pick up your paper book, your phone, or tablet and let go of yourself in a new world built upon words and imagination. Books allow you to imagine a culture, happiness, sadness, or even the misery of a character. Iran has a very rich literature, starting from the poems of Hafez, Ferdowsi, Rumi, and Khayam, to the modern literature novels of Sadegh Hedayat and Mahmoud Dowlatabadi. We have proudly made a list of top 10 Iranian books you should read if you are interested in Iranian literature as well as its history and culture. However, the real Iranian culture is hidden in these book pages.
