The collection offered to readers by one of the largest Iranian writers, Ebrahim Golestan, includes the best of what he has written over more than thirty years of creative activity. Ordinary, at first glance, everyday situations in stories and short stories under the pen of an attentive researcher acquire psychological authenticity and grow to the level of serious social generalizations. In the novel “The Secret of the Treasures of the Enchanted Gorge”, the author, masterfully using paradox and allegory, hyperbole and grotesque, ridicules evil the order that prevailed in Iran under the Shah's regime.
