Da'i-i jan Napuli'un = My Uncle Napoleon, Iraj Pezeshkzad
My Uncle Napoleon (Dear Uncle Napoleon) is a coming of age novel by Iranian author Iraj Pezeshkzad published in Tehran in Persian in 1973. The novel was adapted to a highly successful TV series in 1976 directed by Nasser Taghvai. The novel has been translated by Dick Davis into English.
The story takes place at the time of Iran's occupation by the Allied Forces during World War II. Most of the plot occurs in the narrator's home, a huge early 20th-century-style Iranian mansion in which three wealthy families live under the tyranny of a paranoid patriarch Uncle. The Uncle—who in reality is a retired low-level officer from the Persian Cossack Brigade under Colonel Vladimir Liakhov's command—claims, and in latter stages of the story actually believes that he and his butler Mash Qasem were involved in wars against the British Empire and their lackeys such as Khodadad Khan, as well as battles supporting the Iranian Constitutional Revolution; and that with the occupation of Iran by the Allied Forces, the English are now on course to take revenge on him. The story's narrator (nameless in the novel but called Saeed in the TV series) is a high school student in love with his cousin Layli who is Dear Uncle's daughter. The story revolves around the narrator's struggles to stall Layli's pre-arranged marriage to her cousin Puri, while the narrator's father and Dear Uncle plot various mischiefs against each other to settle past family feuds. A multitude of supporting characters, including police investigators, government officials, housewives, a medical doctor, a butcher, a sycophantic preacher, servants, a shoeshine man, and an Indian or two provide various entertaining sequences throughout the development of the story.

Truly enjoyable satirical/farcical Iranian novel reminiscent of, perhaps, Vanity Fair or Jane Austen novels. It's a comedy of manners and mores, and although I'm not usually nuts about satire (I don't want amusing lectures lampooning people or cultures) this novel is a thoroughly entertaining story of family dramas and squabbles in its own right. I had no idea such an Iranian novel existed, and I think it should be added to the reading lists of all lovers of literature. It's a great specimen of

The Persian Don QuixoteThe dynamics between Uncle Napoleon and Mash Qasem reminded me of the dynamics between Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. Uncle Napoleon and Don Quixote are both delusional and authoritarian men of the battlefield. In the same way that Don Quixote likens himself to this and that great Spanish Knight, Uncle Napoleon likens his own life trajectory to that of Napoleon Bonaparte and does not shy away from making comparisons. Mash Qasem and Sancho Panza vary between being overly

Haven't read it yet. 5 stars because I hit the rating by accident and can't remove it.

A remarkable, hilarious story about a paranoid old man who lives in Iran during the second world war. I believe somehow this story became part of our culture or the culture is the main part of the story! "کار کار انگلیساست آقا":P

I think for someone growing up a little removed from being Persian it was deeply amusing to see all those idiosyncrasies that went on in my family that I didn't really understand taken to the level of farce and put back into context. Like the introduction says, it really shows you how culture and religion do shape a persons experience of the world in important ways, but that there are plenty of topics that everybody deals with and finds humor in. I wish people who wanted to know more about
