Notes
Love and desire in a regime of oppression When David finally fulfilled his long-standing dream and traveled to Iran in 2015, he had no idea that his life would be different when he returned to England. In Tehran he meets the writer Nader and his girlfriend Nastaran. Through their passionate conversations, a close friendship quickly develops, which soon threatens to tip over dangerously. "The Rose of Nischapur" is a moving Tehran novel about desire, mistrust and the longing for a freedom that seems unattainable. The young Englishman David has had a dream for years: he wants to travel to Iran, the homeland of his favorite poet Omar Khayyam. But the country is still badly shaken after the Arab Spring - travelers from the West should be extremely careful. Through a chance acquaintance with the Iranian writer Nader, who invites him to Tehran, his dream finally becomes reality. Together with Nader and his girlfriend Nastaran, David explores the mysterious corners of this exciting and at the same time troubled city. All three of them adore the Persian classic Khayyam and quickly find a deep connection in their passionate conversations about him and his philosophy of life. But what happens to a friendship when it becomes too intimate? "The Rose of Nischapur" is a courageous novel about the diversity of human relationships against the backdrop of an authoritarian regime. He shows what impressive power literature has when our lives force us to flee. - “World literature before it was anything else.” Stefan Weidner, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung about “A Love in Cairo” - The new novel by “Balzac Iran” Berliner Zeitung - The story of a ménage-à-trois - Omar Khayyam – Cheheltan brings the classic of Persian literature into the present
