TEHRAN -- Iranian translator Mahshid Mirmoezzi is currently working on “He’s Back” (“Er Ist Wieder Da”), a comic novel about Adolf Hitler, which topped the bestselling lists in Germany early this year.
A first novel by 46-year-old ghostwriter Timur Vermes satirizes Hitler. In this book, Hitler comes out of a coma in 2011 but people think he is an impostor.
“The book is hard to translate,” Mirmoezzi told the Persian service of ISNA on Saturday.
“Because, he is serious about his remarks, but the remarks make him a laughingstock,” she added.
She said the editing of the Persian version will be completed by the end of August and Negah will publish the book.
“The publisher will submit the book to officials (the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance) for review and approval,” Mirmoezzi stated.
However, she said that “He’s Back” has no forbidden issues to thwart its publication in Iran.
The book was at the top of Germany’s bestseller lists – selling more than 400,000 copies in first six months following its September 2012 release, BBC reported.
It has been translated into 28 languages, so far, and an English version will come out in the near future.
