Paper
Autor Bahiyyih Nakhjavanien Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 noi 2005
But there is a crisis looming. The ancient practice of paper-making is in decline, and the European paper - factory made - is scarce and expensive. In the isolated mountain town, which has become the scene of a power struggle, paper is more necessary than ever. The Scribe sets off on a quest that sends him from mosque to palace, from citadel to marketplace, in hot pursuit of straw and rag reams from the past, of wood-pulp paper of the present, and towards the shimmering pages of the future.

Recenzii
'Nakhjavani's
language
has
a
subtly
wrought
simplicity
that
serves
to
emphasise
her
themes,
and
her
argument
for
the
sanctity
of
the
written
word
is
tightly
woven
into
a
vivid
tapestry
of
characters
and
situations
...
Nakhjavani
has
mastered
a
kind
of
narrative
detachment'
'Nakhjavani's language is as beautiful as the scenes she describes, a litany of names and places, beliefs and deities'
'Nakhjavani displays a love of storytelling almost for its own sake'
