Mammoth Keeper

Mammoth is a legacy that Behrooz Ferdows has left on this earthly globe. It is likely that you have seen the name at least once on food delivery trucks or trailers in the alleys and streets of Iran or on the country’s roads. This is his autobiography, narrating the worlds he encountered, understood, created, passed through, and left behind. You will find similarities between his lived experiences and the narratives of his contemporaries whom you know or have read about. However, numerous subtle and significant distinctions that define Behrooz Ferdows’s uniqueness are what make this autobiography memorable and impactful in your mind. This book is an account of his continuous struggle with death and all other problems that, in the face of the grandeur of death, meant nothing to him, as he managed to live a life that, according to himself, is worth living, with enthusiasm and energy, so much so that one day, after eighty years, he wrote: ‘My claim to happiness in life is not solely based on my material possessions.’
