Mahmoud Etemadzadeh

Mahmoud Etemadzadeh AKA Beh-azin, (Persian: محمود اعتمادزاده؛ م.ا. به‌آذین‎; January 14, 1915– 2006 in Rasht, Iran) was an Iranian writer, literary translator and political activist.[1]

Behazin translated a large number of modern Western classics and some works by Shakespeare and Goethe. He was a member of the Tudeh Party. A group of his younger contemporaries recently provided a review of his work and life on the occasion of his centennial.[2]

Behazin is highly regarded by the literary circles in Iran for his quality and command of Persian and the resulting beauty and honesty of his translations into Persian of Western literary works.
