In this respect

Az In Lahaz is a book by one of the most renowned translators of the country, “Najaf Daryabandari,” which dedicates a small part to translated texts by him and the major portion to the prefaces he has written for these translations. These prefaces are scattered across various books published with “Najaf Daryabandari’s” translations, but in “Az In Lahaz,” all these introductions are provided to the readers in one place. The importance of compiling these prefaces into a single book lies in the fact that “Najaf Daryabandari,” in most of his translated works and articles, offers not only a precise biography of the author but also introduces their most important and central ideas to the reader. In this way, he provides an essence of the most useful information the reader should know about the author in question. “Farewell to Arms” and “The Old Man and the Sea” by “Ernest Hemingway,” “The Case of Robert Oppenheimer” and historical plays and documents by “Heinar Kipphardt,” “The Big Shots” by “Will Cuppy,” “Ragtime” and “Billy Bathgate” by “E.L. Doctorow,” “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by “Mark Twain,” “The Remains of the Day” by “Kazuo Ishiguro,” “The Prophet and The Madman” by “Khalil Gibran,” “Antigone” by “Sophocles,” “The House of Bernarda Alba” by “Federico García Lorca,” “A History of Western Philosophy” and “Power” by “Bertrand Russell,” “Russian Thinkers” by “Isaiah Berlin,” “The Myth of the State” and “The Philosophy of Enlightenment” by “Ernst Cassirer” are only a part of the writings by “Najaf Daryabandari” compiled in “Az In Lahaz,” which can be of great interest to enthusiasts of literature, philosophy, and history.
