Old Man and the Sea (2018)

Words from across the border matter too

In a country where readership is low, Nahid Rezaei is surprised to see constant new titles in bookshops, most of them being translations of foreign texts. She begins to narrate the tale of translation in Iran: starting in the ancient era and ending with translators of today. Along the way she interviews key figures in Iran's modern translation history.
