 Like "Arashe Kamangir", "Mohreye Sorkh" is an epic in the new poetry style, indeed a modern follow up to Ferdowsi’s Rostam and Sohrab, with a proposed political interpretation.But whereas "Arashe Kamangir" is a tale of sacrifice and salvation, "Mohreye Sorkh" is one of compromise and loss.Published after Kasrai’s break up with the Tudeh Party and a move from Moscow to Vienna, "Mohreye Sorkh" is an expression of regret or repentance over decades of Communist activity.
