Mahmoud Etemadzadeh (1915–2006)

Born 1915 CE, died 2006 CE.

Mahmoud Etemadzadeh or Mahmoud Eʼtemadzadeh (Persian: محمود اعتمادزاده; 14 January 1915 – 31 May 2006 in Rasht, Iran), also known as M. A. Beh-azin (Persian: م.ا. به‌آذین), was an Iranian writer, literary translator, Navy Lieutenant, and political activist. 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. Behazin is highly regarded by literary circles in Iran for his quality and command of the Persian language and the resulting beauty and honesty of his translations into Persian of Western literary works.
