Amir Kabir Publishers

Amir Kabir Publishers (Entišarat-e Amir Kabir; also romanized as Amir-Kabir or Amar-i Kabir) is a publishing house based in Tehran, Iran and founded on November 19, 1949, by Abdorrahim "Taghi" Jafari. It is named after Mirza Taghi Khan Amirkabir (better known as Amir Kabir) (1807–1852), who was chief minister during the reign of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar and is sometimes referred to as the Amirkabir Publication Institute.

Company history
Following the Islamic Revolution in 1979, the Iranian government seized Amir Kabir Publishers's assets. Subsequently, the organization's new owners imposed a new management structure. The publishing house is still active, but only publishes previously published material, classics, and conservative new books. Amir Kabir Publishers is the publisher of The Persian Encyclopedia.

The Amir Kabir Publishers edition of Sadegh Hedayat's novel بوف کور (The Blind Owl) was one of the titles selected for the Library of Congress 2014 "A Thousand Years of the Persian Book" exhibition.

The firm regularly attends the Tehran International Book Fair and overseas book fairs, including at Frankfurt and Bologna.
