TEHRAN –Nima Hazrati, the Persian translator of Agatha Christie and Joseph Conrad's classic novels, passed away on Monday due to a heart attack. He was 38. 

Hazrati focused on translating hard-to-read works that required a significant amount of time to translate. 

His portfolio includes translations of “Swan Song”, “Death on the Nile”, “The Mysterious Mr. Quin”, all by Agatha Christie, and “A Comedy in Three Acts” (Collected Works of W. Somerset Maugham) as well as children’s book “I Don't Want to Be a Frog” by Devorah Petty.
