Abstract
This study aims to identify the magazines and publishers influencing the introduction and translation of American fiction from the beginning to the late 1960s. First, the list of short stories and novels translated during the period under study was extracted from the bibliographies and other related resources and the bibliography of American novels and short stories translated into Persian from the beginning to the end of 1970 was compiled. Then, given the information in the compiled bibliography, those publishers that had a significant role in introducing American works to Iranians as well as in the flourishing of the translation of these works in the 1950s and the 1960s, were identified. The results suggest that the translation of American stories began piecemeal in the 1920s through institutions such as Khavar and Beryani Shabestari and flourished from the late 1940s to the 1960s with the establishment of institutions such as Ibn-e Sina, Amirkabir, Keyhan and particularly, Franklin Book Program.
