Opis

Every Thursday morning in a living room in Iran, over tea and pastries, eight women meet in secret to discuss forbidden works of Western literature. As they lose themselves in the worlds of Lolita, The Great Gatsby and Pride and Prejudice, gradually they come to share their own stories, dreams and hopes with each other, and, for a few hours, taste freedom. Azar Nafisi's bestselling memoir is a moving, passionate testament to the transformative power of books, the magic of words and the search for beauty in life's darkest moments.

2. Czytaj niebezpiecznie. Wywrotowa siła literatury na burzliwe czasy, Nafisi Azar
„Czy powinno nas dziwić, że niektórzy znów cytują Baldwina, kiedy na ulicach tłumy domagają się sprawiedliwości?“ – pyta Azar Nafisi w książce, której nadała formę listów do ojca wprowadzającego ją przed laty w świat literatury. Autorka „,Czytając "Lolitę" w Teheranie“, powraca tu do swoich doświadczeń akademiczki w reżimowym Iranie i emigrantki w Stanach Zjednoczonych, ale przede wszystkim pisze o życiu w epoce Trumpa. Wtedy to ulice amerykańskich m...
3. The Wretched of the Earth wer. angielska, Fanon Frantz
Frantz Fanon's seminal work on the trauma of colonization made him the leading anti-colonialist thinker of the twentieth century. Written at the height of the Algerian war for independence from French colonial rule and first published in 1961, it analyses the role of class, race, national culture and violence in the struggle for freedom. Fanon, himself a psychotherapist, makes clear the economic and psychological degradation inflicted by imperialism. Showing how decolonization must be combine...

He and all the other lonely new Londoners -...
5. Invisible Man wer. angielska, Ralph Ellison
Ralph Ellison's blistering and impassioned first novel tells the extraordinary story of a man invisible 'simply because people refuse to see me'. Published in 1952 when American society was in the cusp of immense change, the powerfully depicted adventures of Ellison's invisible man - from his expulsion from a Southern college to a terrifying Harlem race riot - go far beyond the story of one individual. As John Callahan says, 'In an extraordinary imaginative leap, he hit upon a single word for...

8. Nineteen Eighty-Four. Wordsworth Classics wer. angielska, George Orwell
The Thought Police, Doublethink, Newspeak, Big Brother - 1984 itself: these terms and concepts have moved from the world of fiction into our everyday lives. They are central to our thinking about freedom and its suppression; yet they were newly created by George Orwell in 1949 as he conjured his dystopian vision of a world where totalitarian power is absolute.
