Jalal Al-e-Ahmad’s nephew Mohammad Hossein Danaeifar has announced the construction of Jalal technical collage of agriculture and Jalal School of mountain climbing by two of his descendants in Taleghan.
The second meeting on 'Jalal and Shams; two different intellectuals' was held at the Institute for Iranian Contemporary Historical Studies late Monday on the occasion of Shams Al-e-Ahmad's death anniversary.
At the event, Mohammad Hossein Danaeifar delivered a speech stating that the government and agencies need to take care of their symbolic capitals. “These are like traffic signs, directing people to the right path, and must be considered as a social model,” he stated.
Danaeifar pointed to the projects being carried out by the heirs and said, "publishing Al-e-Ahmad’s newly-found writings is under way and we want to form a Board of Trustees with the cooperation of his remaining family to decide over his published and unpublished works.”
While noting that the opening of Jalal and Simin Museum was under way, Danaeifar said that the house museum founded at the house of the couple will be named "Iranian House of Literature".
Jalal Al-e-Ahmad is one of the most famous contemporary authors in Iran who published many novels, short stories, critical essays, and travelogues. He is mostly known in Iran for his novels The School Principal and By the Pen which have been translated into English.
