The Blind Owl

Edición de la obra 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.
