Book Description
With a very cinematic style, Mostafa Mastur explores the pulsing everyday life of an apartment building in Teheran, a metaphysical megalopolis in which the unresolved contradictions of an entire society are condensed. The numerous apartments of the skyscraper, some cramped as cells while others shining of a splendor which is as soulless as their owners’ lives, constitute the backdrop of a play in which the reader becomes the spectator of a shattered world, in which the foundations of all faiths are collapsing. Doors and windows open and close letting filtered traces of that bitter substance that is life. Notwithstanding the continuous religious references, Mastur’s protagonists are prey to an absolute lack of certainty, hurled into the chaos of life to the point of coming close to the brink of madness. Page after page the reader is drawn into a whirl where Soossan, Nozar, Malool, Bandar and all the other anguished monads of this microcosm that symbolizes an Iran unable to find itself, flounder frenetically in search of fortune as a promised land or a lost fatherland.

Justice and Remembrance
Author: Reza Shah-Kazemi
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0857713973
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Abi Talib, son-in-law and cousin of the Prophet Muhammad, first Shi'i imam and fourth caliph, is a monumental figure within the Islamic tradition. But despite the immense importance of Ali, there is a dearth of literature in Western languages about his life and thought. This book - the first serious engagement in English with the intellectual principles underpinning his teachings - is therefore a welcome and valuable addition to the sources available. It consists of three parts. Part one introduces the person of Ali in a general manner, and focuses particularly on the spiritual and ethical content of his teachings. Part two evaluates Ali's 'sacred conception of justice'. Part three addresses the theme of spiritual realization through the remembrance of God, the central mystical practice of the Sufis. Justice and Remembrance will be of great value to students and scholars of Islamic thought, as well as to those interested in the relationship between spirituality and ethics.
