Summary

"The Tales of Sabalan, written in post-revolutionary Iran, is the story of a young boy who is forced to grow up quickly, to assume the role of the male head of the household at a tender age because of the untimely death of his father. It includes two short novels, "Kuh Mara Seda Zad" (The Mountain Called Me) and "Bar Labeh-ye Partgah" (On the Edge of the Precipice). Although "The Mountain Called Me" was translated to German, as "Djalal reitet um sein Leben," By Jutta Himmelreich, and won two prestigious literary prizes in Europe, the present volume is the first English translation of Bayrami's work."--Jacket.
