Information was collected mainly from literature review and online search. In the first look, a little similarity could be observed between Seyed Mohammad Ali Jamalzadeh’s and Martin Walser’s lives. Both authors had a difficult childhood and youth. While Jamalzadeh was spending his adolescence alone and far from his country, Wlaser lived with his parents but had to work hard to improve the bad economic situation of his family. Both authors achieved their success very late. Jamalzadeh through publishing his short story “Once upon a time” in 1921 and Walser through his short story “An airplane over the house” in 1955 reaped their first fruits of their writing period.
