Kedysi žila dievčina, ktorá vedela vyrábať nádherné vlnené koberce nasýtené výťažkom z oranžových požltov a granátových jabĺk…
Perzia, 17. storočie. Zmyselný, strhujúci príbeh plný farieb, chutí a vôní života v Isfaháne sedemnásteho storočia. Mladá a odvážna hrdinka musí riešiť vlastnú budúcnosť v dobe a prostredí, ktoré sú pre ženu bez rodiny a majetku nepriaznivé.

This anthology brings together twenty-seven authors from a wide range of experiences that offer new perspectives on the Iranian American story. Altogether, the narratives capture the diversity of the Iranian diaspora and complicate the often-narrow view of Iranian culture represented in the media. The stories and novel excerpts explore the deeply human experiences of one of the newest immigrant groups to the United States in its attempts to adjust and assimilate in the face of major historical upheavals.
Iran in 1576 is a place of wealth and dazzling beauty. But when the Shah dies without having named an heir, the court is thrown into tumult. Princess Pari, the Shah’s daughter and protégée, knows more about the inner workings of the state than almost anyone, but her maneuvers to instill order after her father’s sudden death incite resentment and dissent. Pari and her closest adviser, Javaher, a eunuch able to navigate the harem as well as the world beyond the palace walls, possess an incredible tapestry of secrets that explode in a power struggle of epic proportions. Legendary women—from Anne Boleyn to Queen Elizabeth I to Mary, Queen of Scots—changed the course of history in the royal courts of England. While they are celebrated, few people know of the powerful and charismatic women in the Muslim world. Based loosely on Princess Pari Khan Khanoom, Equal of the Sun is a riveting story of political intrigue that brings one extraordinary woman to light. Anita Amirrezvani is a master storyteller, and her lustrous prose brings to life this rich and labyrinthine world with a stunning cast of characters—passionate and brave men and women who defy or embrace their destiny in a Machiavellian game played by those who lust for power and will do anything to attain it.
