Mostafa Ghanbari

I am not quite sure whether I arrived in the world or I came out of it. Anyway, I was born in 1972, in the city of Shiraz-Iran.

Due to the constricting and unproductive religious system that has governed Iran since the 1979 revolution, I, like many others, reached a point where I had to decide whether to pursue my goals and aspirations in another land or forsake the hope of a better and more meaningful life.

My perpetually enchanted soul and the burning love for literature in my heart left no room for doubt regarding the path I should take. In 2007, I made the decision to move to the beautiful England, where I have been relentlessly chasing my most cherished goal – to become a skilled novelist. It was a journey that spanned many years, but I have finally achieved it. I am now a novelist, with my debut novel, 'Sophie,' released on the 26th of October 2023.

My enduring interest in philosophical worldviews, psychology, and human behavior has led me to infuse deep and profound messages into my first novel, 'Sophie.' I'm also continuing this exploration of thought and society in my next novel, 'The Gods And The Dogs,' which, like 'Sophie,' delves into the narrative of a society left untested for decades, allowed to evolve in what seems like an 'ideal' environment.
