Translated masterpieces of Iranian novels

This is a growing list of WONDERFUL Iranian novels; all classics. And luckily they are now available in English, German, Dutch, French. I provide a hyperlink so you can investigate them further. They are not expensive, so perhaps it is a good idea to take a break from Iranian bloggers, the contemporary phenomena, and try to understand Iran through the writings of some of the finest writers of the country. ***s reflect my personal favorites. The books are not listed in any particular order. I just list them sequentially, as my search stumbles upon. I will add to this list as I come across other books of note. I have not read any of these books in translated versions; I would love to hear your opinion if you pick one up.
