Summary/Abstract: Sādeq Hedāyat (1903-51) was one of the first Iranian intellectuals interested in popular culture. His interest, also visible in his literary work, can partly be explained by a nationalistic dream to reach the «Arian» roots of Iranian identity and culture. The article explores the ideological concept of Hedāyat’s two early collections of folklore: "Ousāne" (1931) and "Neyrangestān" (1933), with some references to his literary works. The study reveals some paradoxes of Hedayat’s attitude towards Iran’s complex cultural heritage.
