Every Thursday morning for two years in the Islamic Republic of Iran, a bold and inspired teacher named Azar Nafisi secretly gathered seven of her most committed female students to read forbidden Western classics. As Islamic morality squads staged arbitrary raids in Tehran, fundamentalists seized hold of the universities, and a blind censor stifled artistic expression, the girls in Azar Nafisi’s living room risked removing their veils and immersed themselves in the worlds of Jane Austen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry James, and Vladimir Nabokov. In this extraordinary memoir, their stories become intertwined with the ones they are reading. Reading Lolita in Tehran is a remarkable exploration of resilience in the face of tyranny and a celebration of the liberating power of literature.
Azar Nafisi is a professor at Johns Hopkins University. She won a fellowship from Oxford and taught English literature at the University of Tehran, the Free Islamic University and Allameh Tabatabai University in Iran. She was expelled from the University of Tehran for refusing to wear the veil and left Iran for America in 1997. She has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and The New Republic, and is the author of Anti-Terra: A Critical Study of Vladimir Nabokov’s Novels. She lives in Washington, D.C., with her husband and two children.
在穿行都市的巴士上读纳菲西写她在动荡的德黑兰街头奔跑,在旧书店的屋檐下躲避枪火,在人群中寻找熟悉的面孔,在喧嚣的大学论坛上与左派论战,在拉起窗帘的家中客厅和解下面纱的学生们读《洛丽塔》,读《伟大的盖茨比》。隔着灰蒙蒙的城市大气,这一切似乎遥远而不真切,但又...
评分伊朗女作家阿扎尔•纳菲西的回忆录《在德黑兰读〈洛丽塔〉》(Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books),2003年在美国出版时,适逢伊朗核问题爆发而引起美国严重关注的时刻,而这本书也如同文化核弹一样,在美国激起巨大反响,以至于在纽约时报畅销书榜长踞117周之久...
评分纳菲西把自己的人生凝聚到这本书中,以她爱的文学为篇章,以时间为线索,向我们细细道来她的挣扎和热爱。 对文学的热爱、对政治的关心让这本书和我之间有了某种默契。作者就像是我文学课的老师,亲切的讲述在极权的统治下应当如何坚持自我——若无想象的自由便无个人的自由。如...
评分1956年,纳博科夫在《洛丽塔》的出版后记中有些悲观的写到,不应指望一个自由国家的作家会关心美感和肉欲之间的确切界限。在对《洛丽塔》的解读中,他遭受到了各式各样的误读,色情可能是贴到这部作品上最耀眼的标签,而类似于“古老的欧洲诱奸了年轻的美国”这样的隐喻式评价...
评分说起读这本书的由来,还得追溯到2017年6月的一个凌晨。那晚,偶然刷到南航旅游节活动,点进去刷着刷着,突然停在了“伊朗”二字。此前从未想过要去那里旅行。也许是介绍页面中的配图和文字吸引了我,也许是那晚大脑疲了,思维也迟钝了,亦或是因为曾经参加过的一个孤独星球中东...
