"L'importance et la richesse des langues iraniennes sont peu connues du grand public occidental. Elles forment pourtant une vaste famille qui couvre un immense espace : une partie importante du Caucase, l'est de la Turquie, le nord de la Syrie et de l'Iraq, l'Iran, l'Afghanistan, le Tadjikistan et la partie occidentale du Pakistan. Le persan est certes bien connu. Cette langue sert de moyen d'expression à une vaste littérature, aussi riche et originale que ses voisins arabes et indiens. Ferdowsi, Omar Khayam, Sa'adi, Nezâmi, Hâfez sont des poètes qui ont gagné une reconnaissance universelle. Le persan fut aussi langue administrative et culturelle, en Inde, à l'époque moghole, avant d'être remplacée par l'ourdou, puis l'anglais. D'autres langues, comme le kurde, le pashto, le baloutchi élaborent une littérature prometteuse. L'ossète du Caucase est la langue des anciens Scythes sédentarisés et il a conservé des récits qui remontent à la plus haute antiquité. Cet ouvrage a été professé pendant de nombreuses années. On lui a laissé son caractère de manuel. On y trouvera donc une brève introduction à la phonétique et un exposé sur les principes qui gouvernent l'évolution des langues. Ilest sans doute superflu de préciser que ces chapitres sont élémentaires, mais on espère que le lecteur profane y trouvera quelque profit, d'autant plus que l'exposé sur les langues iraniennes est résolument orienté vers la diachronie. Les langues iraniennes font partie d'une grande famille : celles des langues indo-européennes. Le chapitre sur les langues indo-européennes a été conçu, comme c'est l'usage, dans une perspective proprement historique, mais il fait également place aux données de la philologie. On y trouvera, en outre, un exposé sur la culture des Indo-Européens, dont la connaissance, même superficielle, permet d'apprécier maints faits culturels de la civilisation iranienne avant l'Islam. Ce chapitre est lui aussi fort succinct, mais on espère qu'il servira d'introduction à des ouvrages plus élaborés, difficiles d'accès pour les débutants."

This book introduces the canonical figure Sadegh Hedayat (1903-1951) and draws a comprehensive image of a major intellectual force in the context of both Persian and World Literature. A prolific writer known for his magnum opus, The Blind Owl (1936), Hedayat established the use of common language for literary purposes, opened new horizons on imaginative literature and explored a variety of genres in his creative career. This book looks beyond the reductive tendency to read a rich and diverse literary profile in light of Hedayat’s suicide, arguing instead that his literary imagination was not solely the result of genius but rather enriched by a vast network of the world’s literary traditions. This study reflects on Hedayat's attempts at various genres of artistic creation, including painting, fiction writing, satire and scholarly research, as well as his struggle for artistic authenticity, which transcended solidly established literary and artistic norms. Providing a critical reading of Hedayat's work to untangle aspects of his writing – including reflections on science, religion, nationalism and coloniality – alongside his pioneering work on folk culture, and how humor informs his writings, this text offers a critical review of the status of Persian literature in the contemporary landscape of the world’s literary studies. .

"This volume brings together selected papers from the first North American Conference in Iranian Linguistics, which was organized by the linguistics department at Stony Brook University. Papers were selected to illustrate the range of frameworks, diverse areas of research and how the boundaries of linguistic analysis of Iranian languages have expanded over the years. The contributions collected in this volume address advancing research and complex methodological explorations in a broad range of topics in Persian syntax, morphology, phonology, semantics, typology and classification, as well as historical linguistics. Some of the papers also investigate less-studied and endangered Iranian languages such as Tat, Gilaki and Mazandarani, Sorani and Kurmanji Kurdish, and Zazaki. The volume will be of value to scholars in theoretical frameworks as well as those with typological and diachronic perspectives, and in particular to those working in Iranian linguistics"--
