Amir Kabir Publishers ( Persian: انتشارات امیرکبیر; Entišarat-e Amir Kabir; also romanized as Amir-Kabir or Amar-i Kabir) is a publishing house based in Tehran, Iran and founded on November 19, 1949, by Abdorrahim "Taghi" Jafari. [1] It is named after Mirza Taghi Khan Amirkabir (better known as Amir Kabir) (1807–1852), who was chief minister during the reign of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar and is sometimes referred to as the Amirkabir Publication Institute. [2]
Company history
Following the Islamic Revolution in 1979, the Iranian government seized Amir Kabir Publishers's assets. Subsequently, the organization's new owners imposed a new management structure. The publishing house is still active, but only publishes previously published material, classics, and conservative new books. [3] Amir Kabir Publishers is the publisher of The Persian Encyclopedia.
The Amir Kabir Publishers edition of Sadegh Hedayat's novel بوف کور ( The Blind Owl) was one of the titles selected for the Library of Congress 2014 "A Thousand Years of the Persian Book" exhibition. [4]
