Reading Lolita in Tehran
29.99 €
An outstanding documentary novel, deservedly popular worldwide. The book is about how politics invades a person's private life and about the thirst for freedom that cannot be destroyed. A true story filled with startling details - an inside look at existence in a rogue country. Azar Nafisi, the American-educated daughter of a former mayor of Tehran, returns to her homeland to teach Iranian students foreign literature. The Islamic Revolution ruins all plans and the classes turn into secret meetings. While law enforcement raids the country, fundamentalists take over universities, and censorship stifles the arts, the girls visiting Nafisi fearlessly remove their hijabs and immerse themselves in the worlds of Jane Austen, Francis Scott Fitzgerald, and Vladimir Nabokov. The "shaky unreality" of what is happening turns into an extravaganza of love for literature.
