Reading Lolita in Tehran pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
The inspirational tale of eight women who defied the confines of life in revolutionary Iran through the joy and power of literature. 'That room for all of us, became a place of transgression. What a wonderland it was! Sitting around the large coffee table covered with bouquets of flowers ! We were, to borrow from Nabokov, to experience how the ordinary pebble of ordinary life could be transformed into a jewel through the magic eye of fiction.' For two years before she left Iran in 1997, Azar Nafisi gathered seven young women at her house every Thursday morning to read and discuss forbidden works of Western literature. They were all former students whom she had taught at university. Some came from conservative and religious families, others were progressive and secular; several had spent time in jail. Shy and uncomfortable at first, they soon began to open up and speak more freely, not only about the novels they were reading but also about themselves, their dreams and disappointments. Their stories intertwined with those they were reading -- 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Washington Square', 'Daisy Miller' and 'Lolita' -- their Lolita, as they imagined her in Tehran. Nafisi's account flashes back to the early days of the revolution when she first started teaching at the University of Tehran amid the swirl of protests and demonstrations. In those frenetic days, the students took control of the university, expelled faculty members and purged the curriculum. Azar Nafisi's luminous tale offers a fascinating portrait of the Iran-Iraq war viewed from Tehran and gives us a rare glimpse, from the inside, of women's lives in revolutionary Iran. It is a work of great passion and poetic beauty, written with a startlingly original voice.

“女警卫拿了张卫生纸,要我把脸上涂的那些乱七八糟的东西擦干净。 我说我什么也没涂,她就自己拿着卫生纸擦。由于结果令她不满意,因为我真的没化妆,她就更用力擦,擦到整层皮都快被她磨下来了……” 20世纪80年代,伊朗的大学教授阿扎尔·纳菲西正经历着这样荒谬的“...
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 评分有道是“一千个人有一千个人的《红楼梦》”,伟大的作品都允许无限的解读方式——与其说其中有某个作者想表达的“本意”,不如说我们在阅读中看到的其实都只是自己的投射:阅读起到了镜子的作用,反衬出我们头脑中那个世界的倒影。因此,翻开本书之前需要切记的一点是:关键词...
