Ahmad Shamlou (Persian pronunciation: [忙h藞m忙d(-e) 蕛藞蓲藧mlu藧], also known under his pen name A. Bamdad (Persian: 丕. 亘丕賲丿丕丿鈥�)) (December 12, 1925 鈥� July 24, 2000) was a Persian poet, writer, and journalist. Shamlou is arguably the most influential poet of modern Iran. His initial poetry was influenced by and in the tradition of Nima Youshij. Shamlou's poetry is complex, yet his imagery, which contributes significantly to the intensity of his poems, is simple. As the base, he uses the traditional imagery familiar to his Iranian audience through the works of Persian masters like Hafiz and Omar Khayy谩m. For infrastructure and impact, he uses a kind of everyday imagery in which personified oxymoronic elements are spiked with an unreal combination of the abstract and the concrete thus far unprecedented in Persian poetry, which distressed some of the admirers of more traditional poetry. Shamlou has translated extensively from French to Persian and his own works are also translated into a number of languages. He has also written a number of plays, edited the works of major classical Persian poets, especially Hafiz. His thirteen-volume Ketab-e Koucheh (The Book of Alley) is a major contribution in understanding the Iranian folklore beliefs and language. He also writes fiction and Screenplays, contributing to children鈥檚 literature, and journalism.
Ket芒b-e Kucheh = The Book of Alley (The Book of Alley #6), Ahmad Shamlou The Book of Alley (Persian: Ket芒b-e Kucheh) is a series of books about Persian idioms and proverbs by Ahmad Shamlou coauthored with his wife Aida Sarkisian. Shamlou devoted four decades of his life to collecting and organizing Iranian folklore. Folklore from his perspective is a body of traditional beliefs, customs, and expressions. The language in general, and oral languages in particular, address it through different uses such as proverbs, laments, cries and so on. Therefore the language could be used as an index to folklore as a body of tradition. The research work entitled Ketab Kuche (Translation: The Book of Alley) indexes the Iranian folklore through the Persian language. The book is a multi-volume, multi-disciplinary work designed as a major source of information, providing a detailed and accurate picture of an important world civilization over a span of several thousand years. Ketab Kuche is one of the third Iranian national projects on Persian heritage and language beside the Encyclopedia Iranica, a multi-disciplinary reference work and research tool designed to record the facts of Iranian history and civilization and the Dehkhoda dictionary, the largest comprehensive Persian dictionary ever published, comprising 15 volumes. 14 volumes of this book were printed during his lifetime. 鬲丕乇蹖禺 賳禺爻鬲蹖賳 賳诏乇卮 賵 禺賵丕賳卮: 爻丕賱 2002 賲蹖賱丕丿蹖 毓賳賵丕賳: 讴鬲丕亘 讴賵趩賴 噩丕賲毓 賱睾丕鬲貙 丕氐胤賱丕丨丕鬲貙 鬲毓亘蹖乇丕鬲貙 囟乇亘 丕賱賲孬賱 賴丕蹖 賮丕乇爻蹖 丨乇賮 噩貙 (讴鬲丕亘 讴賵趩賴 #6)貨 鬲丕賱蹖賮: 丕丨賲丿 卮丕賲賱賵貨 亘丕 賴賲讴丕乇蹖: 丌蹖丿丕 爻乇讴蹖爻蹖丕賳貨 噩賱丿 诏丕賱蹖賳诏賵乇貙 鬲賴乇丕賳貙 賲丕夭蹖丕乇貙 1380貙 丿乇 796 氐貨 卮丕亘讴: 9645676126貨 賲賵囟賵毓: 賮乇賴賳诏 毓丕賲賴 賲乇丿賲 丕蹖乇丕賳 - 囟乇亘 丕賱賲孬賱賴丕蹖 丕蹖乇丕賳蹖 - 爻丿賴 20 賲 讴鬲丕亘 讴賵趩賴 噩丕賲毓 賱睾丕鬲貙 丕氐胤賱丕丨丕鬲貙 鬲毓亘蹖乇丕鬲貙 囟乇亘 丕賱賲孬賱 賴丕蹖 賮丕乇爻蹖 丨乇賮 噩貙 賲噩賱丿 蹖丕夭丿賴賲 丕夭 賲噩賲賵毓賴 丕爻鬲. 丕. 卮乇亘蹖丕賳蹖
