Book Reading in Prison as Reported by Imprisoned Writers during the Reign of Reza Shah

The establishment of the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi in 1304 H.sh. created some political outcomes. One of these outcomes was the social suppression of political ideologists especially during the second half of his reign up to the year 1320. During these years, a group of political activists were imprisoned for various reasons such as ideas which were against Reza Shahʹs personal dictatorship. They remained in prison until the end of his reign. The memories and notes of three of these prisoners, that is, B. Alavi, A. Khame and Kh. Maleki are delineated in this article and special attention will be given to book reading and prison library services during this period, and questions concerning reading tendency of prisoners, provision of reading materials, and the confrontation of the regime with reading tendency of prisoners will be answered.
