Tehran’s literary scene has embraced the Persian translation of “Greek Lessons,” a poignant novel by South Korean author Han Kang, translated by Fariba Arabzadeh. The story follows a young woman who, after losing her ability to speak, enrolls in an Ancient Greek class to reclaim her voice. Her relationship with her teacher, who is losing his sight, deepens as they confront personal struggles: her grief over her mother and custody battle, and his cultural conflicts. Han Kang’s narrative explores themes of loss, identity, and connection, resonating with readers and reflecting the strength found in vulnerability. The novel’s release in Iran allows a new audience to experience its emotional depth.
