Reading Lolita in Tehran

Pages : 386
Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • We all have dreams—things we fantasize about doing and generally never get around to. This is the story of Azar Nafisi’s dream and of the nightmare that made it come true. For two years before she left Iran in 1997, Nafisi gathered seven young women at her house every Thursday morning to read and discuss forbidden works of Western literature. They were all former students whom she had taught at university. Some came from conservative and religious families, others were progressive and secular; several had spent time in jail. They were shy and uncomfortable at first, unaccustomed to being asked to speak their minds, but soon they began to open up and to speak more freely, not only about the novels they were reading but also about themselves, their dreams and disappointments. Their stories intertwined with those they were reading—Pride and Prejudice, Washington Square, Daisy Miller and Lolita—their Lolita, as they imagined her in Tehran. Nafisi’s account flashes back to the early days of the revolution, when she first started teaching at the University of Tehran amid the swirl of protests and demonstrations. In those frenetic days, the students took control of the university, expelled faculty members and purged the curriculum. When a radical Islamist in Nafisi’s class questioned her decision to teach The Great Gatsby, which he saw as an immoral work that preached falsehoods of “the Great Satan,” she decided to let him put Gatsby on trial and stood as the sole witness for the defense. Azar Nafisi’s luminous tale offers a fascinating portrait of the Iran-Iraq war viewed from Tehran and gives us a rare glimpse, from the inside, of women’s lives in revolutionary Iran. It is a work of great passion and poetic beauty, written with a startlingly original voice. Praise for Reading Lolita in Tehran “Anyone who has ever belonged to a book group must read this book. Azar Nafisi takes us into the vivid lives of eight women who must meet in secret to explore the forbidden fiction of the West. It is at once a celebration of the power of the novel and a cry of outrage at the reality in which these women are trapped. The ayatollahs don’ t know it, but Nafisi is one of the heroes of the Islamic Republic.”—Geraldine Brooks, author of Nine Parts of Desire

Embracing the Best of East and West
Author: Geeta Rao
Publisher: Geeta Rao
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 69
Book Description
Interested in meditations that immediately bring peace of mind and relief from stress and anxiety? Would you like lasting forgiveness for yourself or others? Discover within this book methods of spiritual alchemy to heal yourself of past anger, pain and unforgiveness and ways to transform all that negative energy into love. Just like in Quantum Physics where there are many possible states of existence, so also can you internally shift from a state of fear to one of love. You will discover how inside this book! The author, a highly sensitive person and empath, had experiences from growing up that left ‘holes in her being’, so to speak. Right from her 20s, due to intense inner emotional and mental turmoil, she was filled with a burning desire to find lasting inner peace and forgiveness. This book contains methods that work from 11 years of her search for, and practice of, inner healing techniques. These have left her carefree and glowing from the inside-out! These methods are especially powerful if you find words to be healing and transforming. Just as one can utilize the Akashic Records for healing, one can use the techniques contained within for healing as well. The author has had the experience of all of these healing modalities and speaks from experience. This is a guidebook to spiritual healing methods based on the principle of oneness, that there is only one of us. You will discover: How to apply an ancient Hawai’ian forgiveness method called Ho’oponopono to forgive yourself or others. New Age meditations for lasting inner peace. These are non-denominational in nature, so they fit into the context of any religion you might be practicing (or not). Affirmations and methods such as Cutting the Ties that Bind to heal yourself of difficult and painful relationships. Along with New Age practices, the book also seamlessly discusses Hinduism and its practices as well as Hindu deities. It clearly explains the essence of the various philosophies behind Hinduism. It focuses on Advaita, the non-dualistic philosophy of the East which finds parallels with A Course in Miracles in the West and discusses the meaning and purpose of life according to Advaita or non-duality. Bonus: There is also a charming description of life in a real ancient orthodox Hindu village, in which the author’s mother grew up. It still exists today, and such villages are exceedingly rare to find even in India these days. You will be transported to another time and era! Buy this book to experience more peace, love and happiness today!
