Many of the world’s greatest novels have been translated into Persian. Though Iranian novelists are almost completely unknown in the outside world.

As a response, the present study deals with questions about the novel in the Persian literary system, the literary discourse in the Iranian cultural context and modern Persian literature on the global scene.
