هشترودی - فريبا Fariba Hachtroudi در بازگشتم از ايران On My Return from Iran
Paris, France بنياد هشترودی Mohsen Hachtroudi Foundation 2010/1389 NSBNHACHTROUDI پيمان Paperback Persian 189 6 x 8 inches
فریبا هشترودی دربازگشتنم از ایران* آن چه در روایت های این کتاب می خوانید در قالبهای متداول خاطره نویسی و حدیث نفس نمی گنجد. نویسندۀ کتاب، پس ازسالها دوری ازایران،به ندای دل، ونه سودای گزارش گری، به وطن از دست رفته سفر کرده است. ارمغان وی از این سفر کوتاه، روایتهائی است از دیده ها و شنیده ها، و تصویرها و صحنه های به یادماندنی: از دیدارهای تلخ و شیرین با خویشان وآشنایان؛ ازوضع آشفتۀ ایران و محرومیت ونابسامانی مردمانش؛ ازوضع دلخراش جوانان معتاد وزنانی که ناخواسته به تن فروشی روی آورده اند؛ ازحضورهمیشگی وهراس آور پاسداران نظام اسلامی. کمیت و کیفیت داده های کتاب به یاری نثری روان و گیرا خواننده را بافضای سیاسی وفرهنگی جامعۀ کنونی ایران چنان آشنامی کند که ازنوشته های پژوهشگرانۀ ایرانشناسان هم به ندرت برمی آید. زبان کتاب نیز، که اغلب طنز آمیز است و گهگاه تیز و بٌرّنده، نویسنده ای را معرّفی می کند که بی پروا و آسوده خیال سخن می گوید، عواطف واحساساتش را به راحتی با خواننده درمیان می گذارد و به خطاها در داوریها و باورهای سیاسی اش بی مجامله اعتراف می کند، از جمله در پیوستن به شورای مقاومت ملی ایران و بریدن از آن. نوشته ای ازاین دست اگر درادبیات روائی معاصر ایران بی نظیر نباشد کم نظیر است.

Afkhami, Gholam Reza The Life and Times of the Shah
2008 0520253280 Hardcover English 740 6 x 9
"This book rises above common misconceptions to tell an important story, one that forged the destiny of Iran and changed the course of Middle East history. There is no better book on the Shah, his rule and legacy, and none more enjoyable to read."—Vali Nasr, author of The Shia Revival "A thorough and vivid picture of a very significant period in the political history of Iran and the larger world."—Farhad Kazemi, author of Poverty and Revolution in Iran Description This epic biography, a gripping insider's account, is a long-overdue chronicle of the life and times of Mohammad Reza Shah, who ruled from 1941 to 1979 as the last Iranian monarch. Gholam Reza Afkhami uses his unparalleled access to a large number of individuals—including high-ranking figures in the shah's regime, members of his family, and members of the opposition—to depict the unfolding of the shah's life against the forces and events that shaped the development of modern Iran. The first major biography of the Shah in twenty-five years, this richly detailed account provides a radically new perspective on key events in Iranian history, including the 1979 revolution, U.S.-Iran relations, and Iran's nuclear program. It also sheds new light on what now drives political and cultural currents in a country at the heart of today's most perplexing geopolitical dilemmas.

Brian Hanson Appleton aka Rasool Aryadust Tales from the Zirzameen
2008 1434900827 Hardcover English 190
Tales from the Zirzameen reflects on Iranian culture and society as well as the American expatriate culture there in the 1970s. The short stories relate how the author became assimilated there, and he shares his experiences leading up to the revolution and in its aftermath.
Despite the circumstances under which he left the country—including being taken hostage for a time—the author celebrates the hospitality and rich culture of the Iranian people. He was welcomed warmly into their society and came to appreciate the sincerity and kindness that characterized the people he met.
It is hoped that placing the people of Iran in greater historical context might familiarize the American people with this ancient culture, showing the human faces that lie behind the current political propaganda. The objective is peace and recognition of our common humanity.
