The present book contains five short stories with the following titles: The Long Night, Goldy Bay, At the Train Station, Yale Yagh, and The Last Hunt. The place and atmosphere of the events of the stories are at the Turkmen settlements in Iran and the time goes back to just after the revolution and during the war. In The Long Night story, agent Gholami disagrees with his commander at Bandar Torkaman and does not approve of his commandership and management. Unlike the commander, he argues that violent fishermen should be dealt with severely. But the new commander says that such treatment would not work. As in the case of the former commander who killed many fishermen, the brutal treatment did not work either. He said those fishermen had no choice and their duty was to secure the area for a normal life, not to trap and ambush them and then harass them. Agent Gholami liked the brutal treatment and somehow benefited from such behavior, so he was not satisfied with the commander’s explanation until . . . . . Book Expert: The commander turned his gaze to the window and began to think. From the moment he met Haji Morad’s father, he realized that even those Turkmen loved their country. Haji Morad’s father had gone to the front like his own father. He had lost a leg in the war just like the commander’s father. Also, none had received any points from the Veterans Foundation. He had kissed Haji Morad father’s prosthetic limb several times. Unlike agent Gholami, he was certain that teenagers like Haji Morad could never kill an agent.
