100 Short Stories in Persian: For Intermediate to Advanced Persian Learners (Persian Edition) Paperback – June 19, 2016

Great stories full of philosophy. Not for beginners.

Easy and fun reading for Intermediate level.

I haven't received this in the mail yet but I can't wait to read it! I just discovered this whole line of reading for advanced learners and I am going to buy everything. The key for me is to read everyday.

This is a good collection of some interesting stories to practice reading Farsi at an elementary to intermediate level, probably grade 3 or 4. It is considerably easier to read than online news, for instance. There is a short glossary in the back but it's very inadequate. I still had to look up some words and some of the historical names mentioned in the stories are hard to figure out if you don't know Persian history. Would've been better if these names were explained in footnotes. Also, all the stories are at about the same level and utilize much of the same vocabulary. They don't vary much or start easy and get successively more difficult, which would have been more useful.
