Sinossi
Dall'autrice del bestseller di memorie Reading Lolita in Tehran arriva un caso potente e appassionato sul ruolo vitale della narrativa oggi. Dieci anni fa, Azar Nafisi ha elettrizzato i lettori con il suo bestseller da un milione di copie, Reading Lolita in Tehran, che raccontava la storia di come, sullo sfondo di squadre morali ed esecuzioni, insegnò Il grande Gatsby e altri classici ai suoi studenti entusiasti in Iran. In questo esaltante seguito, Nafisi ha scritto il libro che i suoi fan stavano aspettando: un tributo appassionato, accattivante e del tutto originale all'importanza vitale della narrativa in una società democratica. Prendendo spunto da una sfida lanciatale durante una lettura, risponde energicamente a coloro che dicono che la narrativa non ha nulla da insegnarci oggi. Mescolando memorie e polemiche con letture approfondite dei suoi romanzi preferiti, ci invita a unirci a lei come cittadini della sua "Repubblica dell'immaginazione", un paese in cui i cattivi sono il conformismo e l'ortodossia e l'unico lasciapassare per entrare è una mente libera e la volontà di sognare.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Softcover. Condizione: As New. From the author of the bestselling memoir Reading Lolita in Tehran comes a powerful and passionate case for the vital role of fiction today. Ten years ago, Azar Nafisi electrified readers with her million-copy bestseller, Reading Lolita in Tehran, which told the story of how, against the backdrop of morality squads and executions, she taught The Great Gatsby and other classics to her eager students in Iran. In this exhilarating follow-up, Nafisi has written the book her fans have been waiting for: an impassioned, beguiling and utterly original tribute to the vital importance of fiction in a democratic society. Taking her cue from a challenge thrown to her at a reading, she energetically responds to those who say fiction has nothing to teach us today. Blending memoir and polemic with close readings of her favourite novels, she invites us to join her as citizens of her 'Republic of Imagination', a country where the villains are conformity, and orthodoxy and the only passport to entry is a free mind and a willingness to dream.
