Two Farsi Translations not usually found outside Iran

Today I received a shipment on DHL of two Farsi translations that are not found outside Iran. The "export" translation is by Reza Alizadeh. The upper translation in the photo is by Farrokhzad Farzin Zand. The lower translation is by Motaharah Ebrahimzadeh. I got them by contacting the people at Azeribay Bookstore in Azerbaijan to see if they could get them for me in Iran. They were happy to do so and did it very expeditiously. They then shipped them to one of their people in Ankara who shipped them to me by DHL (since most national postal services are no longer shipping parcels to the US).

The Farzi translation has a different Farsi form for "The Lord of the Rings". The Ebrahimzadeh translation uses the same Farsi form as the Alizadeh translation.

I do not read Farsi so I cannot judge the quality of either of these translations.

Very, very interesting! Just found out about your account and your website, phenomenal work! I'll be following your work from now on. It's really interesting to see just how universal LOTR is. The AI looking covers on the lower set did make me nauseous, though. When were they published?

Assuming I did the calculations correctly from the Iranian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, they were published in 2024-2025, so they're quite fresh.

And thank you for your kind words about my website, Joaozin.
