Iran

Iran modern berdenyut dengan ketegangan antara tradisi dan transformasi, di mana budaya Persia kuno bertemu dengan gejolak politik kontemporer dan perubahan sosial. Melalui memoar, sejarah, dan kisah-kisah yang intim sekaligus luas, pembaca menyaksikan sebuah bangsa penyair dan demonstran, di mana kehidupan pribadi terjalin dengan momen-momen penting yang terus membentuk Timur Tengah.
