3.The Gardens of Consolation(作者:Parisa Reza)
This illuminating and lyrical first novel by Iranian-born Reza, translated from the French by Adriana Hunter, won France’s Prix Senghor. Reza follows a young couple as they travel from their ancestral village of Ghamsar to Shemiran on the outskirts of Tehran in the early days of the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi. Their son Bahram becomes the first from his village to graduate from high school, and is admitted to university in Tehran. Reza tracks the massive changes of World War Two, when the Allies and Russia invaded oil-rich Iran, and the mid-century turmoil of the early Cold War and the coup against prime minister Mohammad Mosaddegh. She never loses track of her intimate focus on one family whose lives are shaped by love, loyalty, tradition, and the continual adjustments required as political power shifts.
这本具有启发性、感情丰富的作品是伊朗籍作家Reza的第一部小说。Reza跟踪观察了一对从格哈默沙村庄迁移到赛米兰(位于德黑兰边界)年轻夫妇。他们的儿子巴赫拉姆是村子里第一个高中毕业生,并被德黑兰大学录取。伊朗在二战期间被协约国和俄国侵略,在冷战初期遭遇浩劫以及穆罕默德·摩萨台政变。Reza努力去追寻这些事件对伊朗造成的改变,同时她也密切关注着由爱、忠贞和传统构成,但面对政局动荡不得不做出改变的平凡家庭。
