Add to basketPaperback. Condition: Good. Eigendomsmerk. Dutch In Identiteitskaart van F. M. Esfandiary volgt de roman een man met een complexe, Midden-Oosterse achtergrond die in Iran verstrikt raakt in een verstikkend bureaucratisch systeem wanneer hij zijn identiteit officieel wil laten erkennen of vastleggen; terwijl hij van loket naar lo…ket wordt gestuurd, telkens geconfronteerd met tegenstrijdige eisen, documenten en definities van wie hij is, wordt zijn persoonlijke zoektocht naar erkenning steeds absurder en frustrerender, en groeit het besef dat zijn identiteit niet eenduidig in administratieve categorieën te vatten valt, waardoor de concrete strijd met de Iraanse administratie zowel een letterlijk verhaal vormt over papierwerk en machteloosheid als een bredere aanklacht tegen starre systemen die menselijke complexiteit reduceren tot formulieren en regels.

Hardcover/gebunden. Condition: gut. Erste Aufl. Fadengehefteter Pappeinband mit geprägtem Rücken- und Deckeltitel, Lesebändchen und Schutzumschlag in gutem bis sehr gutem Erhaltungszustand. "Dariusch Aryana, der den Großteil seines Lebens im westlichen Ausland verbracht hat, kehrt Mitte der 60er Jahre in seine Geburtsstadt Teher…an zurück. Er versucht, wieder Teil der iranischen Gesellschaft zu werden ? vergeblich. Er bleibt ein Fremder in der Heimat, die zudem von einem totalitären System beherrscht wird, das den Armen und Wehrhaften das Genick, den Mitläufern das Rückgrat bricht. Nach wenigen Wochen möchte Aryana wieder ausreisen ? doch dazu ist ein neuer Ausweis notwendig. Die Beschaffung dieses Dokuments führt ihn in ein kafkaeskes Labyrinth, das sein Leben völlig vereinnahmt: Von Amt zu Amt, von Behörde zu Behörde schickt man ihn. Die endlose Jagd wird zum Sinnbild der Identitätssuche. Der letzte Ausweis handelt von der Fremde in und um uns, von der Sehnsucht nach Zugehörigkeit und Nähe, von der verzweifelten Suche nach einer unverrückbaren Identität ? und vom Scheitern dieser Suche. Esfandiary schildert lakonisch und in schnörkelloser Sprache den Wahnsinn der Bürokratie und die nahezu unendliche Duldsamkeit der Menschen, die in die Mühlen der Behörden geraten. Wenig hat sich geändert seit dem Erscheinen dieses Romans vor 40 Jahren. Fereidoun M. Esfandiary (später nannte er sich FM-2030) wurde 1930 in Brüssel als Sohn eines iranischen Diplomaten geboren und wuchs u.a. in England, Iran, Afghanistan und Indien auf. Er war Olympiateilnehmer, Mitglied der UN-Schlichtungskommission für Palästina, Schriftsteller, Dozent, Philosoph und Futurologe. Esfandiary glaubte an eine globale Gesellschaft, der es im 21. Jahrhundert gelingen würde, politische, rassische und nationale Unterschiede zu überwinden. Er starb im Jahr 2000." (Verlagstext) In deutscher Sprache. 221, (3) pages. 8° (127 x 190mm).
