Representaion Toward Books دایی جان ناپلئون
Da'i-i jan Napuli'un = My Uncle Napoleon, Iraj PezeshkzadMy Uncle Napoleon (Dear Uncle Napoleon) is a coming of age novel by Iranian author Iraj Pezeshkzad published in Tehran in Persian in 1973. The novel was adapted to a highly successful TV series in 1976 directed by Nasser Taghvai. The novel has been translated by Dick Davis into English.
The story takes place at the time of Iran's occupation by the Allied Forces during World War II. Most of the plot occurs in the narrator's home, a huge early 20th-century-style Iranian mansion in which three wealthy families live under the tyranny of a paranoid patriarch Uncle. The Uncle—who in reality is a retired low-level officer from the Persian Cossack Brigade under Colonel Vladimir Liakhov's command—claims, and in latter stages of the story actually believes that he and his butler Mash Qasem were involved in wars against the British Empire and their lackeys such as Khodadad Khan, as well as battles supporting the Iranian Constitutional Revolution; and that with the occupation of Iran by the Allied Forces, the English are now on course to take revenge on him. The story's narrator (nameless in the novel but called Saeed in the TV series) is a high school student in love with his cousin Layli who is Dear Uncle's daughter. The story revolves around the narrator's struggles to stall Layli's pre-arranged marriage to her cousin Puri, while the narrator's father and Dear Uncle plot various mischiefs against each other to settle past family feuds. A multitude of supporting characters, including police investigators, government officials, housewives, a medical doctor, a butcher, a sycophantic preacher, servants, a shoeshine man, and an Indian or two provide various entertaining sequences throughout the development of the story.

Haven't read it yet. 5 stars because I hit the rating by accident and can't remove it.My Uncle Napoleon is the farcical family drama centered around the delusional Dear Uncle Napoleon - a tyrannical patriarch whose stories of fighting lowly bandits in the South eventually evolve into full-blown epic battles with the British Empire. Basically the book is centered around the conflict between fiction and reality, between truth and lies - in a society where this distinction (or the moral benefits of this distinction) is not always evident. The plot consists of the unnamed narrator

Did I enjoy this?well, why should I lie? To the grave it's...ah...ah...four fingers.Lovely story and wonderfully told. Heartbreaking in places, nerve jangling in others and more often than not hilarious. As funny as any adventure Bertie Wooster or Harry Flashman ever had, this novel achieved that rare feat of making me laugh out loud while reading.The unnamed narrator, who is little more than a cypher (but garners respect for using ever more ingenious excuses to be at the heart of the action)

Pretty good - very funny. Tad slow in the middle, but lots of humor throughout. A glimpse into a different culture on their terms - it was made into a soap opera of sorts in Iran. I would recommend it.
Once upon a time I was like you, too...very sensitive...very melancholy...but time changed me...a persons body is formed in the workshop of his mothers body, but a persons soul in the workshop of the world.Our unnamed narrator is a teenage boy who finds himself pulled in all directions by his own burgeoning feelings of love, the squabbles of his extended family, and the generally confusing advice he gets from everyone he knows. He knows one thing for sure, that he loves his cousin Layli, and if
