La librairie et maison d’édition Forough a été fondée en 1998 par la famille Mehdipour à Cologne, en Allemagne, dans le but de publier des livres censurés en Iran.
Le meurtre d’Ahmad Kasravi est le premier livre publié par Forough, en 1998. L’intention était de rendre publique la vérité entourant la mort d’Ahmad Kasravi, le célèbre critique de l’Islam iranien. Ils ont poursuivi leur travail en publiant les mémoires d’ex-prisonniers du régime islamique iranien.
La maison d’édition Forough se développe désormais autour de trois axes principaux : la littérature, les sciences sociales et humaines, et l’information. La maison souhaite mettre l’accent sur la littérature persanophone, mais aussi sur la traduction des œuvres d’écrivains allemands, comme par exemple Le Week-end, de Bernhard Schlink, et La Fin du monde islamique d’Hamed Abdel-Samad.
La maison d’édition Forough a publié plus de 150 titres de genres divers, y compris de la poésie, des romans, des livres pour enfants, des biographies et des livres de référence. Forough accompagne les programmes éducatifs persans à l’extérieur de l’Iran en publiant et distribuant des manuels scolaires persans à l’échelle internationale.

Dark LuminisitiesAramesh DOSTDAR
Aramesh DOSTDAR (born in 1932 in Tehran) is an Iranian philosopher, writer, scholar and a former philosophy lecturer at Tehran University. He moved to Germany in 1958 to study philosophy in University of Bonn. From 1973 to 1980 he taught philosophy in the University of Tehran, until his dissmision during closure of universities by the Islamic government in the so called Cultural Revolution. Aramesh Dustdar who is currently living in Germany, is probably one of the few Iranian philosophers in the western meaning of the word. He is known for both complexity of the language but clarity and precision of ideas expressed. . Four of his books have been published in Persian, 2 of them “Dark Luminosities” and “The Hidden Kinship” by Forough Publications. He is uncompromising on controversial and sensitive issues such as incompatibility between Islam and democracy or the situation of intellectuals in the Muslim world, as, in his view, a real, Western type intellectual can not be tolerated in any Muslim society. The murders of political and intellectual dissidents and opponents in the Islamic Republic of Iran are a "brilliant" example of that antagonism between Islam and democracy, he points out.
