Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Shirin has just arrived from war-stricken Iran to Sweden her new home. Her and her family must learn to acclimatise to the weather, culture and socialisation of Sweden whilst still staying in touch with their Iranian heritage. Along with her response to such things as a traditional Swedish Christmas lunch, the dating rituals of European teenagers or the social dynamics of an unfamiliar and not always friendly classroom are fascinating glimpses into the lives of a varied community of refugees, eccentrics and drop-outs. These are interspersed with traditional Persian fairy tales and nostalgic memories of her beloved grandmother, which sustain her in her new life.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Stories of Little and Big Blossoms is about emotional ordeals like being a stranger in a strange land or losing a loved one, told from the perspective of children. Elham, for instance, a little girl from Iran, has to start over again in Germany, where everything starting with the streets, buildings and playgrounds of her new city is alien to her. And at school she feels insecure and excluded, and has a hard time making friends.Shirin Azari processes her own childhood experiences in these stories. One night in 1996, her family had to flee Iran there wasnt even time to say goodbye to relatives and friends. Over the years that followed, she attended no fewer than eleven different schools in Germany and suffered from never staying in one place for very long. Azaris own story is the message she seeks to put across, for she learned her lesson the hard way: to struggle, to assert herself and never to give up. The tribulations of Elham, Jonathan, Aylin and her other hapless protagonists, illustrated with Azaris delicate, poetic drawings, reflect her own uprooted childhood and youth, and the need for the most innocent victims of all, namely the children, to be courageous, assertive and open-minded.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Stories of Little and Big Blossoms thematisiert Gefühle wie das des Fremdseins beim Umzug in ein neues Land oder den Schmerz, einen geliebten Menschen zu verlieren und fokussiert dabei auf die Sicht von Kindern. Da ist zum Beispiel die kleine Elham aus dem Iran, die einmal mehr mit ihrer Familie an einem neuen Ort beginnen muss, und für die alles fremd ist in der neuen Stadt: Die Strassen, die Häuser, der Spielplatz. In der Schule fühlt sie sich ausgegrenzt und unsicher, und es fällt ihr schwer, neue Freunde zu finden. Shirin Azari verarbeitet in Stories of Little and Big Blossoms ihre eigenen Kindheits- und Jugendjahre. 1996 floh sie über Nacht, ohne sich von Familie und Freunden verabschieden zu können, mit ihren Eltern und ihrem Bruder aus dem Iran nach Deutschland. Sie besuchte dort elf verschiedene Schulen und litt darunter, nie länger an einem festen Ort zu leben. Wie ein roter Faden zog sich das Gefühl der Unsicherheit und Rastlostigkeit durch Shirin Azaris Leben, bis sie damit begann, ihre Erkenntnisse in Geschichten für Kinder festzuhalten. Die Erlebnisse von Elham, Jonathan oder Aylin, von der Autorin mit zarten, poetischen Zeichnungen illustriert, spiegeln ihre Erfahrung, nie an einem Ort Wurzeln geschlagen haben zu dürfen und ist eine Aufforderung zu Offenheit und Mut. Dabei sollen die Geschichten die Aufmerksamkeit auf die unschuldigsten aller Betroffenen lenken, auf die Kinder.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Women Without Men is renowned visual artist Shirin Neshat's feature-film debut. Its exquisitely crafted view of the artist's native Iran during its tumultuous British and American-backed coup d'Ã tat in 1953 won Neshat the Silver Lion at the 2009 Venice International Film Festival. Adapted from the novel by Iranian author Shahrnush Parsipur, the film draws together the initially separate stories of five female characters during those traumatic days. With a camera that floats sedately through the lives of the women and the countryside of Iran, Neshat explores the political and psychological dimensions of her characters as they converge in a metaphorical orchard. This volume unites stills from the series of five video installations that originated the film with photographs and texts by critic Eleanor Heartney, Parsipur and the artist.…
