| Title: Alethophobia |
| Sub-title: Fear of Truth |
| By (author): Manoucher Parvin |
| ISBN10-13: 1588140474 : 9781588140470 |
| "Alethophobia" revolves around the life of the Iranian-born Professor Pirooz who lives mostly in his own imagination; he is everywhere and yet he is nowhere. He dissimulates and dissimulates, yet loses control of himself and speaks his mind -- in spite of his efforts -- at all costs. He is a whistle blower with a broken whistle and a broken heart and a broken existence. What is the use of being a Professor if you cannot profess and, worse yet, have to pay lip service to academic freedom in order not to be marginalised? "Alethophobia" is eventful, witty and insightful. It is a real story that appears as surreal. How could such events occur on a tranquil university campus in America? How could the love of a gorgeous policewoman and a wondering scientist take root and blossom in such inhospitable soil? The story has many stunning turns and twists inducing laughter and tears. |

| Title: An Eyeful of Earth, An Eyeful of Ocean |
| By (author): Mandana Zandian |
| ISBN10-13: 1588141330 : 9781588141330 |
| Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak has selected and ably translated the poems of Mandana Zandian's poems. The translation includes poems which have never been published in the original. |
| Reviews: |
|
"Mandana Zandian’s poems are highly inspiring in the original Persian and felicitous in this English translation." —Ehsan Yarshater, Hagop Kevorkian Professor Emeritus of Iranian Studies, Columbia University
|
|
"Having left behind the growing pains of a revolution gone awry and having tasted the bitter air of an exile that seems eternally unsettling, in "An Eyeful of Earth, an Eyeful of Ocean" Zandian gives centrality to an idea of love that is gripping in its glance, soothing in its voice and utterly engulfing in its embrace." —Esmail Khoi, Iranian Poet, London
|
|
"Informed by the long lyrical tradition in Persian poetry, the love poems of Mandana Zandian provide a feast for the senses. Her lines are imbued with easily accessible abstractions in a simple and highly economical language that whispers raindrops and shimmers in the implicative power of imagery that is uniquely hers." —Houra Yavari, Center for Iranian Studies, Columbia University

| Title: Atheism in the Medieval Islamic & European World |
| Sub-title: The Influence of Persian & Arabic Ideas of Doubt & Skepticism on Medieval European Literary Thought |
| By (author): Fatemah Chehregosha Azinfar |
| ISBN10-13: 1588140512 : 9781588140517 |
| Did God exist a thousand years ago? This book discusses and analyses the origins of questioning God and Religion in Medieval Middle Eastern and European literature and thought. Author Fatemeh Azinfar analyses two medieval texts from the Middle East, "A Thousand and One Nights" and "Vis and Ramin", both of which question God's existence and actions. Europeans such as Dante, Abelard, Chaucer, the author of Chanson de Roland, and the author of "The Pearl" poem are shown to have asked similar questions. Azinfar argues that the European authors were influenced by the religious scepticism inherent in medieval Middle Eastern texts. The roots of the ideas of rationalism, existentialism, surrealism, and feminism are traced from the Islamic world to the medieval West. Azin-far shows that a period most view as steeped in religious dogmatism was actually an analytical era, rooted in rationality, scientific advancement, and scepticism. Tales of questing knights who rescue damsels also con-tain theories that question traditional views on religion, the possibility of the existence of a physical world, and nihilism. |

| Title: Avicenna & I |
| Sub-title: The Journey of Spirits |
| By (author): Manoucher Parvin |
| ISBN10-13: 1588140482 : 9781588140487 |
| "Avicenna and I" is a love saga spanning here and the hereafter; it is a journey of spirits toward immortality. Together two lovers explore the city of Hamadan in north-west of Iran, one of the oldest residences of civilisation, where the tomb of one of history's most remarkable thinkers, Avicenna, lies. To ascend from what they are to what they dream to be, the lovers seek and find the spirit of Avicenna. From him-the prince of medicine and the leading wise man-they learn how to heal the body, the mind, the spirit and even love, and how to tend to a wounded nature. They discover the path to immortality. "Avicenna and I" strips history naked of its pretensions and shatters the myth of the East as a place of unreason-deserving to be subjugated by the West -- and establishes that the Italian Renaissance was merely a continuation of the Persian Renaissance which occurred in the Golden Era of Avicenna. In this unforgettable novel the future and the past recreate one another and set the present afire with passion for immortal wisdom, and immortal love and truth. The reader is invited to view the mind and the universe, intuition and reason, science and faith, and life and death with a profoundly new understanding. The trials and tribulations of the characters, even history, on their transcendental journey are recounted with a pen searching for the beginning and the end of everything -- for the answers God never created. So humans must invent the answers as we have invented many things God did not create. This novel is a chapter in the book of answers. |
