The novel "The Sad Colonel" by the famous Iranian writer Mahmoud Dowlatabadi (1940) has not been published in the author's homeland, although this work, considered by the Iranian authorities as the "most counter-revolutionary" novel, has been translated into many European languages. The action takes place during one night in the 80s of the 20th century - during the dawn of the Islamic Revolution and the Iran-Iraq war. The retired colonel of the Shah's army, for whom national ideals and honor are the main values, raised his children as patriots and allowed them to make free choices. Despite choosing different paths, the children of the colonel are sacrificed by the political events in the country. Thanks to the author's impressive narration, the reader becomes a participant not only in the tragedy of one family, but also in the dramatic history of the entire state.
