A classic of Modern Persian literature, Charand-o Parand (Stuff and
Nonsense) is a work familiar to every literate Iranian. Originally
a series of newspaper columns written by scholar and satirist
Ali-Akbar Dehkhoda, the pieces poke fun at mullahs, the shah, and
the old religious and political order during the Constitutional
Revolution in Iran (1906-11). The essays were the Daily Show of
their era. The columns were heatedly debated in the Iranian
parliament, and the newspaper was shut down on several occasions
for its criticism of the religious establishment. Translated by two
distinguished scholars of Persian language and history, this volume
makes Dehkhoda's entertaining political observations available to
English readers for the first time.
