Book Synopsis The Septembers of Shiraz by : Dalia Sofer
Download or read book The Septembers of Shiraz written by Dalia Sofer and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2007-07-24 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aftermath of the Iranian revolution, rare-gem dealer Isaac Amin is arrested, wrongly accused of being a spy. Terrified by his disappearance, his family must reconcile a new world of cruelty and chaos with the collapse of everything they have known. As Isaac navigates the tedium and terrors of prison, forging tenuous trusts, his wife feverishly searches for him, suspecting, all the while, that their once-trusted housekeeper has turned on them and is now acting as an informer. And as his daughter, in a childlike attempt to stop the wave of baseless arrests, engages in illicit activities, his son, sent to New York before the rise of the Ayatollahs, struggles to find happiness even as he realizes that his family may soon be forced to embark on a journey of incalculable danger. A page-turning literary debut, The Septembers of Shiraz simmers with questions of identity, alienation, and love, not simply for a spouse or a child, but for all the intangible sights and smells of the place we call home.

Book Synopsis Shiraz in the Age of Hafez by : John W. Limbert
Download or read book Shiraz in the Age of Hafez written by John W. Limbert and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fourteenth-century Persian city of Shiraz, poets composed, scholars studied, mystics sought hidden truths, ascetics prayed and fasted, drunkards brawled, and princes and their courtiers played deadly games of power. This was the world of Shams al-Din Mohammad Hafez Shirazi, a classical poet who remains broadly popular today in his native Shiraz and in modern Iran as a whole, and among all lovers of great verse traditions. As John Limbert notes, Hafez's poetry is inseparable from the Iranian spirit--a reflection of Iranians’ intellectual and emotional responses to events. But if Hafez’s endurance derives from the considerable charm of his work, it also arises from his sure grounding in the life of his day, from a setting so deftly explored by his verse that his depictions of it retain a timeless relevance. To fully comprehend and enjoy Hafez, and thus to understand a root force in modern Iranian consciousness, we must know something of the city in which he lived and wrote. In this book, Limbert provides not only a rich context for Hafez’s poetry but also a comprehensive perspective on a fascinating place in a dynamic time. His portrait of this elegant, witty poet and his marvelous city will be as valuable to medievalists, students of the Middle East, and specialists in urban studies as it will be to connoisseurs of world literature.
Download or read book Farewell Shiraz written by Cyrus Kadivar and published by American University in Cairo Press. This book was released on 2017-06-16 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1999 during a trip to Cairo, Cyrus Kadivar, an exiled Iranian living in London, visited the tomb of the last shah and opened a Pandora's box. Haunted by nostalgia for a bygone era, he recalled a protected and idyllic childhood in the fabled city of Shiraz and his coming of age during the 1979 Iranian revolution. Back in London, he reflected on what had happened to him and his family after their uprooting and decided to conduct his own investigation into why he lost his country. He spent the next ten years seeking out witnesses who would shed light on the last days of Pahlavi rule. Among those he met were a former empress, ex-courtiers, disaffected revolutionaries, and the bereaved relatives of those who perished in the cataclysm. In Farewell Shiraz, Kadivar tells the story of his family and childhood against the tumultuous backdrop of twentieth-century Iran, from the 1905-1907 Constitutional Revolution to the fall of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, before presenting accounts of his meetings with key witnesses to the Shah's fall and the rise of Khomeini. Each of the people interviewed provides a richly detailed picture of the momentous events that took place and the human drama behind them. Combining exquisite vignettes with rare testimonials and first-hand interviews, Farewell Shiraz draws us into a sweeping yet often intimate account of a vanished world and offers a compelling investigation into a political earthquake whose reverberations still live with us today.

Download or read book Shiraz written by Robert Hamburger and published by XOXOX Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. This vivid novel depicts a group of young Americans in mid-1970's Iran, at the apex of the Shah's reign-a decisive turning point for Iran and for the U.S. in the Middle East. SHIRAZ reveals cracks and shadows in that time that have since deepened and widened, providing a vivid back story to present disasters. SHIRAZ is a powerful book-evocative and unsettling. Beyond possessing a compelling narrative, this novel offers a critical look at America's venture into the Middle East. "It's often been said," reads the cover, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." Shiraz is Robert Hamburger's sixth book. Among his early works, two were finalists for the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award & The Western Writers' Prize for Biography; one book was featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show and another won him a New York Foundation of the Arts Award in Creative Nonfiction. Hamburger has been a Fulbright Lecturer at the University of Paris and in India and Morocco, and has had several residencies at the MacDowell Colony and at the Ossabaw Island Project. He has been the recipient of research grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities. He lives in New York City.

Book Synopsis Shiraz meets Jesus by : Arthur Eedle
Download or read book Shiraz meets Jesus written by Arthur Eedle and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-06-19 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over recent years many tales have come out of the Middle East of Arabs, Moslems, and Jews receiving vivid dreams and visions of Jesus, and yielding their lives to Him, regardless of their own safety. However, this form of Divine Evangelism has not been limited to the Middle East. Here is the full account of a most amazing experience received in England in 1992 by a young Moslem business man, staying in a Travelodge overnight. His complete change of faith from Islam to Christianity produced ostracism from his family, and the near loss of his life. He shared his experience with friends of the authors, who passed it on to them shortly afterwards. This story is a wonderful example of the living Christ at work today calling people to Himself in person, as He did 2,000 years ago.

Download or read book Salafi-Jihadism written by Shiraz Maher and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No topic has captured the public imagination of late quite so dramatically as the specter of global jihadism. While much has been said about the way jihadists behave, their ideology remains poorly understood. As the Levant has imploded and millenarian radicals claim to have revived a Caliphate based on the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed, the need for a nuanced and accurate understanding of jihadist beliefs has never been greater. Shiraz Maher charts the intellectual underpinnings of salafi-jihadism from its origins in the mountains of the Hindu Kush to the jihadist insurgencies of the 1990s and the 9/11 wars. What emerges is the story of a pragmatic but resilient warrior doctrine that often struggles - as so many utopian ideologies do - to consolidate the idealism of theory with the reality of practice. His ground-breaking introduction to salafi-jihadism recalibrates our understanding of the ideas underpinning one of the most destructive political philosophies of our time by assessing classical works from Islamic antiquity alongside those of contemporary ideologues. Packed with refreshing and provocative insights, Maher explains how war and insecurity engendered one of the most significant socio-religious movements of the modern era.
