Coinciding with the ninety-fifth birth anniversary of prolific Diaspora Armenian writer Hakob Karapents, two publishing houses in Iran have announced the release in Farsi of his works: “Ketabeh Adam” [The Book of Adam], the writer’s most celebrated and popular novel by Khazé Publishing, and “Yek mard va yek sarzamin” [A Man and a Land], an anthology of fifteen short stories and essays by Siyamak Book (Ketab-E-Siyamak).

These publications will provide the first opportunity for the Farsi-speaking community and literary circles in Iran to become acquainted with Karapents and his unique literary legacy as well as his Armenian compatriots who will read his works in Farsi for the first time.
