Price and Buy Isfahan Half of the World Book by Sadegh Hedayat

“Isfahan” by Sadegh Hedayat, also known as “Isfahan: Half of the World,” is an “experimental” work in which the author recounts his journey to the vibrant and legendary city of Isfahan. Hedayat likens the city to the tales of “One Thousand and One Nights.” The uniqueness of this book lies in the personal and introspective quality of Hedayat’s perspective, allowing readers to hear the author’s voice amidst the travelogue. It includes a note by Hassan Razavi, Hedayat’s host in Isfahan, detailing this journey. The book contains four pieces. The first piece, titled “Isfahan: Half of the World,” is a narrative of Hedayat’s observations during a four-day trip to Isfahan while he was a student. The second piece, “Death,” is a short piece about death, translated by Hedayat from a Belgian writer named “Gant.” The remaining two writings are short stories titled “Sampingue” and “The Fickle.”
