Madrapour by Robert Merle (Farsi)

Madrapour is a bold and satirical novel set in a fictional French colony in Southeast Asia during the waning years of colonial rule. Through the eyes of French officials, military personnel, and local inhabitants, Merle paints a vivid, often ironic portrait of colonial arrogance, corruption, and the absurdities of empire. The fictional island of Madrapour becomes a microcosm of imperial decline, where ideologies clash, power is abused, and personal ambitions blur moral boundaries. With sharp wit and keen political insight, Merle critiques colonialism and its contradictions while offering a compelling and layered narrative of cultural entanglement and disillusionment.
