Authors > Ali-Akbar Dehkhoda
Ali Akbar Dehkhoda (1879-1956) was a prominent linguist whose greatest achievement was a massive and authoritative Persian dictionary. In his twenties, however, he edited the popular literary and political magazine Sur-e Esrafil, an important voice in Iran’s Constitutional Revolution of 1907-09, and wrote its most prominent regular feature, a column called “Charand Parand” (“stuff and nonsense” or “tittle-tattle”) that, like all good satire, communicated important political and social ideas in the form of humorous stories and anecdotes.
