Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. First Edition. The New York Times bestselling author of Reading Lolita in Tehran returns with a guide to the power of literature in turbulent times, arming readers with a resistance reading list, ranging from James Baldwin to Zora Neale Hurston to Margaret Atwood."[A] stunning look at the power of reading. . Provokes and inspires at every turn." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)"Remarkable. . Audacious." -The Progressive"Stunningly beautiful and perceptive." -Los Angeles Review of BooksWhat is the role of literature in an era when one political party wages continual war on writers and the press? What is the connection between political strife in our daily lives, and the way we meet our enemies on the page in fiction? How can literature, through its free exchange, affect politics?In this galvanizing guide to literature as resistance, Nafisi seeks to answer these questions. Drawing on her experiences as a woman and voracious reader living in the Islamic Republic of Iran, her life as an immigrant in the United States, and her role as literature professor in both countries, she crafts an argument for why, in a genuine democracy, we must engage with the enemy, and how literature can be a vehicle for doing so.Structured as a series of letters to her father, who taught her as a child about how literature can rescue us in times of trauma, Nafisi explores the most probing questions of our time through the works of Toni Morrison, Salman Rushdie, James Baldwin, Margaret Atwood, and more.

Nafisi has a talent for combining the academic and the everyday, the theoretical and the personal, and thanks to her deliberate and confident voice, the lessons will stick with us, too." - New York Times Book Review"One of the remarkable things about Read Dangerously is the extent to which Nafisi's father emerges as a vibrant and fully developed character, years after his death. She effortlessly resurrects his intellectual presence. . Read Dangerously lives up to its audacious title, demonstrating the subversive and transformative power of literature. It should start many a book-based conversation." - The Progressive"Thoughtful and insightful. . Heartfelt. . Because change can be a daunting process, we avoid 'reading dangerously.'

Asks incisive questions about the intolerance within individuals. . Natural, intimate. . Writing to her departed father reinforces the mood of Nafisi's book, which turns to the power and example of the brave past and to a tradition of great books as solace and guide.

Ultimately, her story gives all of us hope." - Los Angeles Review of Books"A passionate book. .
