    Life
    Hedayat was born to a northern Iranian aristocratic family in Tehran (his great-grandfather Reza-Qoli Khan Hedayat was himself a well respected writer and worked in the government, as did other relatives) and was educated at Collège Saint-Louis (French catholic school) and Dar ol-Fonoon (1914–1916). In 1925, he was among a select few students who travelled to Europe to continue their studies. There, he initially went on to study engineering in Belgium, which he abandoned after a year to study architecture in France. There he gave up architecture in turn to pursue dentistry.

    The Life of Sadeq Hedayat by Dr. Iraj Bashiri Bashiri Working Papers on Central Asia and Iran _________________________________ © 2019, 2023 The Life of Sadeq Hedayat bygd Dr. Iraj Bashiri University of Minnesota © 2019, 2023 Introduction Like that of most writers, Sadeq Hedayat's biography is not free from controversy.
