Riassunto

In Tehran in 1958, Nasser Ali Khan, one of Iran's most acclaimed tar players, discovers that his beloved instrument has been irrevocably damaged, lauches a fruitless search for another one to replace it, and takes to his bed, renouncing the world, its pleasures, and life itself. By the author of Persepolis. 50,000 first printing.

Recensione:

Praise for Persepolis and Persepolis 2

“A mighty achievement [and] an inspiring coming-of-age story.” ––USA Today

“Delectable . . . Dances with drama and insouciant wit.” ––New York Times Book Review

“It is virtually impossible to read Persepolis without falling in love.” ––Baltimore Sun

“One of the freshest and most original memoirs of our day. [Satrapi’s] is a voice calling out to the rest of us, reminding us to embrace this child’s fervent desire that human dignity reign supreme.” ––Los Angeles Times

“Cause for celebration . . . Superb.” ––Philadelphia Inquirer

“Delightful . . . It is our good fortune that Satrapi has never stopped visiting Iran in her mind.” ––Newsweek

Praise for Embroideries

“Stories of sex, love and marriage, ranging from the disheartening to hysterically funny . . . Embroideries generates a flavorful mix of perspectives with engaging, fully fleshed-out characters.” ––The Miami Herald

“Tantalizing . . . Bold, bewitchingly humorous and politically astute.” ––Elle

“As funny, opinionated, controversial, and surprising as any good comic or conversation should be.” ––Time.com

“Subversive . . . Satrapi’s book is a mocking rebuke to the cult of chastity, and a statement about the way human passions find their way around the most determined repression.” ––Salon
