Author Biography
Behrangi, Samad (Author)
Samad Behrangi was born in Tabriz, Azerbaijan, and taught in the rural village schools of the Turkish North before devoting himself wholly to writing stories that would honestly portray the inhuman plight of the poor and their children. His pioneering stories, his strong social consciousness, and his sympathy for the downtrodden place him in the forefront of contemporary Persian writers.

Behrangi drowned at age 29 while swimming in a swift river.
