Iran

L'Iran moderne vibre de la tension entre tradition et transformation, où l'ancienne culture perse rencontre les bouleversements politiques contemporains et le changement social. À travers des mémoires, des récits historiques et des histoires à la fois intimes et ambitieuses, les lecteurs découvrent une nation de poètes et de manifestants, où les vies personnelles s'entremêlent avec des moments décisifs qui continuent de façonner le Moyen-Orient.
