Ali Latifiyan was born on December 15, 1968, in Tehran, Iran.[1] His father, Mohammad Hossein Latifiyan, was an employee of Tehran University. This caused him to attend the meetings of great professors of the University of Tehran as a child.[citation needed] His father's grandfather, Heydar Latifiyan, was one of the commanders during World War I (Middle Eastern theatre) in the Persian campaign.[2] He received his diploma in the field of natural sciences from Fatemi High School (one of the best high schools in Tehran in the 1980s).[3] However, due to his interest in political science, he continued his higher studies in this field. He was able to receive his master's degree in two subjects: political science and Islamic studies.[4] After that, he started teaching history, sociology, etc..in Iranian colleges and schools[1][5]
He has published numerous papers and articles. A collection of those works is brought together in a collection called (Naghashi-Koodaki). Most of his works are short and beautiful stories about the history of Iran.[6]
Contemporary Persian and Classical Persian are the same language, but writers since 1900 are classified as contemporary. At one time, Persian was a common cultural language of much of the non-Arabic Islamic world. Today it is the official language of Iran, Tajikistan and one of the two official languages of Afghanistan.
