San’ati Zadeh Kermani published his masterpiece, Rostam in Twenty-Second Century, in 1934. This book is widely recognized as the first Persian science fiction novel. It was initially written for and published as a feuilleton to Shafaq Surkh, a newspaper daily under the editorial of Mayil Toysirkani (1847-1950). In this fiction, written a few years before the Second World War, the city of Zahidan in Twenty Second century becomes the site in which San’ati Zadeh Kermani imagines the utopian solution to his contemporary national and international challenges, such as the national quest for reform in judicial system, the national struggle between new and old values, and the Jewish question in the international scene (Ganjavi, p. 60-64).
