Chronicle During Books Suvashun
Considerada una obra maestra, esta novela supuso el reconocimiento de Simin Daneshvar como una autora indispensable de la moderna literatura persa. Reeditada en numerosas ocasiones, Suvashun fue una novela valiente, la primera escrita por una mujer iraní y narrada por su protagonista femenina. Ambientada en el Irán de la Segunda Guerra Mundial durante la ocupación de los Aliados, la historia está narrada por Zahra, una joven ama de casa que es testigo de los acontecimientos. El amor que siente por su marido, sus tres hijos, su casa y su jardín, a los que considera su país, y la educación en el colegio de los misioneros ingleses han hecho de ella una mujer culta pero sumisa, tolerante ante las injusticias que ve a su alrededor, una actitud que choca frontalmente con la personalidad de su marido, Yusef, que se rebela frente a los invasores, como el mítico héroe persa Suvashun.List Books Concering Suvashun

This book is a testament to the claim that Persian culture is timelessly poetic and spiritual. Through a deeply symbolic storyline, this book offers a very rare glimpse of the inner workings of Iran during WW2. Politics, gender politics, philosophy, religion, idealism, power and corruption are all themes that have been masterfully integrated in this moving classic. Highly recommended for lovers of Iranian culture and those who still haven't had the chance to grasp the beauty of it!

I read it again...and enjoyed it more than first time. I think I could read it again and again and even enjoy more each time...
I am very sorry that there is not more than 5 stars. I would like to give 10 stars to this novel. That was fantastic. It was so close to current situation in Iran. I just remembered the Laleh Sahabi's father in the last pages of the book. Thanks Simin, you are great.
The title is a tradition, pre-Islamic, that represents hope, despite everything. The Shia traditions passion of Hoseyn, the Prophets (PBUH) grandson, and the tragedy of Karbala, and transformation into salvation, into idealism is an example of Savushun. Imagine a culture 2500+ years old. Maybe it takes thousands of years to create a Hafez. To collect the memories and the wisdom; to maintain the Savushun and rhythms; to respect the place of ritual, and see the magic that ritual brings to the eyes
