Book Translating

The play “Celebration and Night School” written by “Harold Painter” was the first translation of Ashkan Khatibi that was able to receive a printing license and was published by Nila Publishing House in 2015. The unveiling of this book in Tehran was accompanied by a play reading of a part of it.

The play “Love and Curse” written by “Sam Shepard” is his second translation, which reached the third edition with the wide acceptance of the readers only two weeks after its first release. He translated it about 13 years ago, but these two works were subjected to many audits when they were published, and finally, after many years, they have been published in the form of a volume titled “Love and Curse” by Nila Publishing House. After holding two signing ceremonies in Tehran, one of which was accompanied by a reading of a part of the play by his students, signing ceremonies were held in the cities of Shiraz, Mashhad, Isfahan and Rasht with the welcome of the people.

The last translation published by him is the play “Heartless” written by “Sam Shepard” which was published in the last days of 2018 by Nila publishing house.
