The Legend of Doubt is the second poetry collection by F.M. Faraz, written between the years 2566 and 2571 in the Persian calendar. Comprising 39 Persian-language poems, this collection explores the profound emotional and social facets of the human experience. Building on his debut work, Wander, Faraz reaches new heights of poetic expression in The Legend of Doubt, revealing a richer, more mature voice that resonates deeply with themes of introspection, connection, and the complexities of human life.
F.M. Faraz is a German-Persian poet, novelist, and storyteller whose literary voice moves through the realms of philosophical fantasy, metaphysical mystery, and psychological introspection. Born on July 13, 1985, and currently residing in Germany, Faraz began writing at a young age. What started as a childhood passion gradually evolved into a lifelong artistic pursuit—one shaped by short stories, poetry, philosophical reflection, and an enduring search for meaning through language.
His debut novel, The Harmony, released in 2024 as a two-volume work, marked a defining moment in his literary journey. Blending dark philosophical fantasy with haunting mystery, the novel explores layered realities, existential conflict, and questions surrounding truth, identity, and transcendence.
In December 2025, Faraz released The Scoundrel (Bi-Hame-Chiz, in Persian), a work of psychological realism shaped by modern tragedy, existential confession, and sharp social critique. His upcoming novel, The Fall, scheduled for release in the summer of 2026, returns to the mythic and metaphysical dimensions of his fiction, exploring divinity, rebellion, desire, morality, and the fragile boundary between light and darkness.
Faraz’s poetic journey began in 2000, while his first collection, The Wander, appeared unofficially in 2005. Over the years, his poetic voice matured through works such as The Legend of Doubt—first published in 2012 and revisited in 2021—and The Eighty One (2024), a contemplative collection centered on wonder, uncertainty, memory, and the human condition.
