    <![CDATA[In the aftermath of the Iranian revolution, rare-gem dealer Isaac Amin is arrested, wrongly accused of being a spy. Terrified by his disappearance, his family must reconcile a new world of cruelty and chaos with the collapse of everything they have known.<br/><br/>As Isaac navigates the tedium and terrors of prison, forging tenuous trusts, his wife feverishly searches for him, suspecting, all the while, that their once-trusted housekeeper has turned on them and is now acting as an informer. And as his daughter, in a childlike attempt to stop the wave of baseless arrests, engages in illicit activities, his son, sent to New York before the rise of the Ayatollahs, struggles to find happiness even as he realizes that his family may soon be forced to embark on a journey of incalculable danger.<br/><br/>A page-turning literary debut, <em>The Septembers of Shiraz</em> simmers with questions of identity, alienation, and love, not simply for a spouse or a child, but for all the intangible sights and smells of the place we call home.]]>

    <![CDATA[&quot; Isaac Amin, um próspero joalheiro e gemologista iraniano de origem judaica, é surpreendido uma bela manhã pela presença de dois guardas da revolução, que o prendem, acusando-o de ser espião da Mossad, devido à sua riqueza - incompatível com a austeridade do regime de Ayatollah -, às suas viagens frequentes a Israel e ainda a uma ligação ao Xá deposto. Dalia Sofer descreve com vivacidade e realismo o ano que se segue à prisão de Amin, recorrendo a diferentes pontos de vista sobre os acontecimentos de acordo com a situação de cada um dos membros da família. A experiência de encarceramento, tortura e extrema insegurança vivida por Amin, a ansiedade de Farnaz, que não desistirá de procurar o marido, a epopeia da pequena Shirin que a mãe considera demasiado jovem para ter consciência dos acontecimentos e, finalmente, o drama de Parviz, o filho mais velho que luta por continuar os seus estudos universitários em Nova Iorque. Um relato profundo e delicado sobre a vida de uma família dilacerada por um conflito, cultural, social e religioso entre Setembro de 1981 e Setembro de 1982. Seleccionado pelo The New York Times como um dos 100 mais notáveis títulos do ano da sua publicação.&quot;]]>

    <![CDATA[Illegal Jewish immigration to Palestine prior to the founding of the State of Israel forms one of the most fascinating chapters in the history of Zionism and modern Jewish history.  Bringing Jews from Europe to Palestine by land and by sea in defiance of restrictive British immigration policies was partly an undertaking of national rescue and partly a calculated strategy of political brinksmanship.  In this compelling analysis, Ofer examines various illegal immigration and rescue efforts organized by the Palestinian Jewish community in both the beginning and latter phases of the war.  Making exhaustive use of archival sources, Ofer provides invaluable insight into the struggles of the immigrants, the activists and supporters of the movement, the logistical obstacles, and the political forces working to halt or exploit the flow of refugees.]]>
