The Blind Owl (Authorized by The Sadegh Hedayat Foundation - First Translation into English Based on the Bombay Edition)
Widely regarded as Sadegh Hedayat's masterpiece, the Blind Owl is the most important work of literature to come out of Iran in the past century. On the surface this work seems to be a tale of doomed love, but with the turning of each page basic facts become obscure and the reader soon realizes this book is much more than a love story. Although the Blind Owl has been compared to the works of the Kafka, Rilke and Poe, this work defies categorization. Lescot's French translation made the Blind Owl world-famous, while D.P. Costello's English translation made it largely accessible. Sadly, this work has yet to find its way into the English pantheon of Classics. This 75th anniversary edition, trans...
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
There is something weird and eerie going on in the oneiric Iranian ghost-town Bad City. A mysterious female vampire, clad in a long-black veil, imbued with occult and erotic power, has newly arrived in town and is summarily dispensing with its unsavory characters. Through a chance encounter in a night of luminal darkness, an eternally dark romance begins – baptized in love’s blood. Shot in dazzling anamorphic black and white cinematography and accompanied with an intoxicating and mesmeric soundtrack, Ana Lily Amirpour’s debut feature film A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night (2014), was an instant popular and critical success. Dubbed ‘the first Iranian vampire western’ the genre-bending film is a pastiche of genres such as vampire cinema, gothic and horror films, spaghetti westerns, graphic novels, and Iranian cinema; yet the film stands as a new vampire fairy-tale with a unique style all its own. The first full-length study dedicated to the film since its release, this book in the Devil’s Advocate series provides a unique approach to the film situated within three theoretical coordinates: the vampire genre, psychoanalytic (film) theory and German Idealism.
Esotericism and Deviance
The concept of deviance has been central to the academic study of (Western) esotericism since its inception. This book, being the proceedings of the 6th Biennial Conference of the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism (ESSWE), explores the relationship between esotericism and various forms of deviance (as concept, category, and practice) from antiquity until late modernity. The volume is the first to combine incisive conceptual explorations of the concept of deviance and how it informs and challenges the study of esotericism alongside a wide range of empirically grounded case discussions.

Cinema Mihan (third edition)
"Cinema Mihan," means "Homeland Movie Theatre" in Persian, but saying it in an ironic tone in Persian or Farsi, the language in which this book is written, it also means "Spectacular Homeland" too. "Cinema Mihan," written by Fereydoun Moezi Moghadam, a socio-cultural old student and writer, also a professional "cinephile," is not a book on Iranian cinema, nor a book on the history of cinema in Iran, but rather an enterprise, taking Iran's modern history as a movie theatre, where the screen lends itself to numerous sharp and witty notes on social, cultural and political events over three centuries in a country that has never been freed of its devastating Asian feudal structure including an 'u...
xârej àz goud (Out of the Circle)
"Out of the Circle" begins with a simplistic look at poetry and poets. The protagonist, who in her mind saw the poet as a prophetic human being, after meeting the poets living in Sweden, all his beliefs and mentality towards poetry and poets collapsed. The story of "Out of the Circle" is indeed a qualitative critique of the literary community. Using bittersweet humour, the author tries to flip the narcissistic body of poets and writers while tickling the mind of the reader. "Out of the Circle" is the first volume of a trilogy. The next two volumes are dedicated to the role of the cyber world in the literary community and the relations of poets and writers inside and outside the country.
