Ideology Behind the Covers of the Bestselling Books in Iran: Female Narrators in War Literature

Nowadays, the entire book printing, binding, publishing, distribution, and selling industry attempts to draw on an "inventory of paratextual elements" to carry its ideological meanings around.

They are subdivided into the peritext and the epitext based on their spatial position.
