The story follows the life of the main character, Hajji Baba, a barber from Ispahan, as he embarks on a series of adventures marked by encounters with various social classes and the complexities of Persian society. Through satire and rich characterization, the book captures the humor and absurdity of the characters’ lives amid the socio-political dynamics of Persia. The opening of the novel introduces us to Hajji Baba's background and identity, describing his father as a celebrated barber in Ispahan who marries twice and ultimately names his son after a pilgrimage. The narrative captures Hajji Baba's education, his skill at shaving, and his aspirations to travel and improve his fortunes. Following a keen desire for adventure, he leaves his father’s shop to serve a merchant and set off on a journey, but quickly encounters danger when their caravan is attacked by Turcoman bandits. As Hajji Baba becomes a prisoner, the story hints at his resourcefulness and determination to survive and navigate the challenges he faces, setting a lively tone for his adventures ahead.
