Download Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books AudioBook Free
Every Thursday morning hours for just two years in the Islamic Republic of Iran, a vibrant and inspired educator known as Azar Nafisi secretly gathered seven of her most determined female students to learn forbidden European classics. As Islamic morality squads staged arbitrary raids in Tehran, fundamentalists seized your hands on the colleges, and a blind censor stifled imaginative expression, the girls in Azar Nafisi's living room risked taking away their veils and immersed themselves in the worlds of Jane Austen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry James, and Vladimir Nabokov. In this outstanding memoir, their reviews become intertwined with those people these are reading. Reading Lolita in Tehran is a exceptional exploration of resilience when confronted with tyranny and a celebration of the liberating vitality of literature.
