Cheraghe Akhar (The Last Alms) book by Sadegh Choubak

Cheraghe Akhar (The Last Alms) by Sadegh Choubak is a compelling collection that blends short stories with a three-act play, each piece reflecting deep observations of Iranian society. Choubak, a pioneer of modern Persian prose, presents characters caught between tradition and change, often highlighting the hypocrisy embedded in cultural and religious practices. The title story centers on a young man’s attempt to challenge the influence of a religious storyteller, exploring tensions between reason and superstition. With richly drawn settings and unflinching honesty, Choubak sheds light on the moral dilemmas, societal stagnation, and quiet resistance that mark everyday life.
