Outstanding documentary novel, deservedly received worldwide popularity. A book about how politics invades a person's privacy, and about the thirst for freedom that cannot be destroyed. A true story filled with amazing details - an inside look at existence in a pariah country. Azar Nafisi, the American-educated daughter of the former mayor of Tehran, is returning to her homeland to teach foreign literature to Iranian students. The Islamic revolution destroys all plans, and classes turn into secret meetings. While law enforcement raids across the country, fundamentalists seize universities, and censorship stifles art, the girls visiting Nafisi fearlessly take off their hijabs and enthusiastically plunge into the worlds of Jane Austen, Francis Scott Fitzgerald and Vladimir Nabokov. The “shaky unreality” of what is happening turns into an enchanting celebration of love for literature.
