Three Drops of Blood
- Used Book in Good Condition
This collection of short stories, previously unpublished in English, displays the disturbing and evocative force of Hedayatâ€™s writing, and confirms his place in the literary canon. They depict a world of revelation, uncanny similarity, grotesquery and insanity. The title story, â€˜Three Drops of Bloodâ€™, follows the protagonistâ€™s increasingly unstable mental state through the repeated occurrence of three drops of blood, while â€˜Hadjji Moradâ€™ depicts an almost Joycean epiphany in classically understated terms, as a man mistakes another woman for his wife. These are stories which, though set in a distinctive milieu, deal with universal truths and cut to the very essence of humanity. Contains: â€˜Hajji Moradâ€™, â€˜Three Drops of Bloodâ€™, â€˜The Legalizerâ€™, â€˜Whirlpoolâ€™, â€˜Fire-Worshipperâ€™, â€˜Abji Khanomâ€™, â€˜The Stray Dogâ€™, â€˜The Broken Mirrorâ€™, â€˜Davoud The Hunchbackâ€™, â€˜Madelineâ€™, â€˜Dash Akolâ€™, â€˜The Man Who Killed His Passionsâ€™, â€˜Buried Aliveâ€™.
