About This Item
Random House Inc, New York (2006), 2006. Hardcover. Collectible, Fine/Very Good. Octavo, hardcover, fine in near fine green and gray pictorial dj. First Printing. Red spine on blue boards, gilt title, clean and tight, 232 pages. Ebadi is an everywoman, albeit one who has braved imprisonment, harassment, assassination attempts, and her family's humiliation, all for the dream of a better Iran for her daughters and for generations to come. She has watched countless friends and relatives fleeing in the years since the Revolution, never to return. Yet, despite immense pressures, Ebadi remains resolute. She refuses to give up on Iran, unwilling to surrender the glories of its past and the promise of its future. For her bravery and selflessness, she has been embraced as a national hero and as a key player in helping to forge Iran's destiny, whatever it may be. Written with modesty, passion, and humanity, Iran Awakening is a unique memoir that blends equal parts sorrow and joy, nostalgia and hope.
