Reading Lolita In Tehran: A Memoir In Books $10.09 We all have dreams things we fantasize about doing and generally never get around to. This is the story of Azar Nafisi’s dream and of the nightmare that made it come true. For two years before she left Iran in 1997, Nafisi gathered seven young women at her house every Thursday morning to read and discuss forbidden works of Western literature. They were all former students whom she had taught at university. Some came from conservative and religious families, others were progressive and secular; several had spent time in jail. They were shy and uncomfortable at first, unaccustomed to being asked to speak their minds, but soon they began to open up and to speak more freely, not only about the novels they were reading but also about themselves, their dreams and disappointments. Their stories intertwined with those they were reading Pride and Prejudice, Washington Square, Daisy Miller and Lolita their Lolita, as they imagined her in Tehran. Nafisi’s account flashes back to the early days of the revolution, when she first started teaching at the University of Tehran amid the swirl of protests and demonstrations. In those frenetic days, the students took control of the university, expelled faculty members and purged the curriculum. When a radical Islamist in Nafisi’s class questioned her decision to teach The Great Gatsby, which he saw as an immoral work that preached falsehoods of "the Great Satan," she decided to let him put Gatsby on trial and stood as the sole witness for the defense. Azar Nafisi’s luminous tale offers a fascinating portrait of the Iran-Iraq war viewed from Tehran and gives us a rare glimpse, from the inside, of women’s lives in revolutionary Iran. It is a work of great passion and poetic beauty, written with a startlingly original voice. From the Hardcover edition. |

From Creation To The Cross: Understanding The First Half Of The Bible $19.59 Most Christians don’t quite know what to do with the first half of the Bible. Some are fascinated by the historical sweep of the Old Testament. Others are blessed by its poetry. Still others focus on its prophecies. But what are the heart and soul of the Old Testament? In From Creation to the Cross Al Baylis is a guide who shares with us his love for and profound understanding of the Old Testament. He walks us through the Old Testament pointing out along the way perspectives and insights that leave us with a new personal understanding of these thirty-nine books — and more importantly of the God of the Old Testament who lovingly prepared the way before sending his Son. As Bruce Wilkinson puts it in the Foreword ‘I could almost picture (Baylis) as a seasoned rabbi surrounded by a huddle of eager listeners. He doesn’t simply teach the Old Testament; it’s as if he personally reminisces through it.’ From Creation to the Cross is one of those rare books that speaks to a wide range of readers from high school students to homemakers to college professors. This revised and expanded edition of On the Way to Jesus makes this unique and highly readable approach to the first half of the Bible available once again. It is ideally suited for use in Bible study groups. This unique and highly readable overview of the Old Testament points to a more personal understanding of God. |

Mountaineers Books Cascade Alpine Guide, Vol. 3: Rainy Pass to Fraser River: Climbing & High Routes, 3rd Edition $34.95 Born from the hand-scribbled trail maps and wilderness passion of its members, Washington’s nearly 100-year-old Mountaineers Club established the nonprofit Mountaineers Books in 1960 to express and share its love of the natural outdoors.Hikers, scramblers, serious climbers and Northwest rescue organizations, alike, have relied on Fred Beckey’s Cascade Alpine Guides for decades to lead them through this wild mountain range. In addition to their comprehensiveness, the books provide a rare combination of aerial photos with route overlays, three-dimensional illustrated maps, and climbing topos.The section of the North Cascades covered in this volume is roughly a pie-shaped area in the northern section of the range, stretching from the Lake Chelan area up into Canada and west to Bellingham. Except for glaciers and some year-round snow fields, it’s mostly dry, lonesome, open country, with beautiful granite spires jutting to the sky.FRED BECKEY is thought to have made more first summits than any American climber, ever, and the Cascades have been his primary playground. The octogenarian is also an accomplished author, having penned The Challenge of the North Cascades and Mount McKinley: North America’s Icy Crown, in addition to the three-volume Cascade Alpine Guides and others.Features:10 new toposUpdated maps, photos, route overlays, route information, and driving directions |
