Teamsar va man (Persian Edition) - Persian Language Learning Book for Beginners | Perfect for Self-Study, Classroom Use & Cultural Exploration

This book is a vivid, intimate and first hand narrative about the 1950s Iranian political upheavals. Teamsar va Man follows a young woman’s struggles to save her imprisoned husband who is about to be executed. A network of military officers secretly gathered info and support for the Tudeh Party. However after the 1953 coup d'état, several of those officers were arrested and tried to be executed. Through this story, the reader learns about the situation of those political prisoners and the challenges that their families were facing. I only wished that there were more details about the lives, goals, and plans of the officers.Politics, history, philosophy, and the familiar sacrifices of a woman who is madly in love flesh out this romantic tale, littered with references to the culture, power dynamics, and also the architecture of Tehran in that era. I especially loved the strong character of the young woman who fought with everyone and everything for the love of her life. Highly recommend this novel to anyone who likes to learn more about that important period of Iranian history.
