In the Rose Garden of the Martyrs: A Memoir of Iran de Christopher de Bellaigue

In the Rose Garden of the Martyrs: A Memoir of Iran

Autor Christopher de Bellaigue
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 ian 2006
The history of Iran in the late twentieth century is a chronicle of religious fervor and violent change -- from the Islamic Revolution that ousted the Shah in favor of a rigid fundamentalist government to the bloody eight-year war with Saddam Hussein's Iraq. But what happened to the hostage-takers, the suicidal holy warriors, the martyrs, and the mullahs responsible for the now moribund revolution? Is modern Iran a society at peace with itself and the world, or truly a dangerous spoke in the "Axis of Evil"?
Christopher de Bellaigue, a Western journalist married to an Iranian woman and a longtime resident of a prosperous suburb of Tehran, offers a stunning insider's view of a culture hitherto hidden from American eyes, and reveals the true hearts and minds of an extraordinary people.

Recenzii

“Readers will find here a detailed picture of Iranian life that has too long been out of reach.” — Booklist
“De Bellaigue is a defiantly literary writer, and he gives us a sense of Tehran [that is] immediate and insistent.” — Pico Iyer, New York Times Book Review
“De Bellaigue’s . . . anecdotes and interviews provide tremendously valuable context for many of today’s headlines.” — Washington Post Book World
“Incisive analysis. . . . Through eloquent human stories, Bellaigue frames the murky politics of Iran in a telling, intimate scale.” — Newsweek (International Edition)
“An intimate exploration of the revolution’s denouement...The intellectual honesty de Bellaigue brings to bear is worthy of praise.” — San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
“A highly original and disturbing portrait of the Islamic republic.” — BusinessWeek
“An important book that deserves to be read by both defenders and detractors of the Islamic republic.” — Times Literary Supplement
“De Bellaigue gives us a sense of daily life in Iran . . . cynical, conflicted, and bitter, yet surprisingly vibrant.” — Chronicle of Higher Education

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
In this superbly crafted and thoughtful book, de Bellaigue probes the human wreckage of the world's last great revolution. The result is a subtly intense revelation of the hearts and minds of the Iranian people, and what it is like to live among them.
