Dal 1979 per la maggior parte degli occidentali l’Iran è sinonimo di fondamentalismo islamico, di terrorismo, di pericolo. Le cronache hanno ridotto la Persia a “problema”, offuscando 2.500 anni di storia. Molto prima di Khomeini e Ahmadinejad, l’Iran ha dato al mondo Ciro il Grande, Rumi, Avicenna, Hafez e Khayyam e ha scritto un pezzo di storia fondamentale dell’intera umanità. Una storia che ci porta in una terra di bellezze assolute e ingiustizie profonde. Una storia complessa, affascinante e misteriosa. E troppo spesso sottovalutata. Una storia di musulmani sciiti, zoroastriani, cristiani ed ebrei. La ricchezza di etnie e culture diverse che convivono dai tempi dell’Impero Persiano è il “mistero” di questo Paese, in cui soltanto il 51% della popolazione è di etnia persiana. Un Paese che continua a svolgere anche nel XXI secolo il ruolo di cerniera tra Europa ed Estremo Oriente. La nostra storia, il nostro vocabolario e persino la nostra tavola devono molto alla Persia. Che ci piaccia o meno, dovremo fare i conti ancora per molto tempo con l’Iran. E in questo confronto dovremmo sempre essere consapevoli della grandezza della storia e della cultura persiana. “L’Autore, per l’acutezza delle osservazioni, sembra un diretto discendente dei grandi viaggiatori europei da Marco Polo ad Ambrogio Contarini e soprattutto del romano Pietro della Valle, che raggiunse la corte dei re sufi nel XVI secolo” (dall’introduzione di Amir Madani).

La storia dell’Iran non comincia certo nel 1979, ma la rivoluzione, con il suo prezzo altissimo di sangue e di verità, con le lacerazioni insanabili e con le ferite solo in parte ricomposte, è ormai una parte fondamentale, imprescindibile della storia e dell’identità del Paese. Non può e non deve essere assolutamente considerata una “parentesi storica” (come Benedetto Croce definisce il fascismo per l’Italia), o un “incidente di percorso” lungo la strada che porterà forse un giorno a una democrazia liberale di stampo occidentale. La rivoluzione, oltre a segnare la storia dell’Iran e di tutto il Medio Oriente, ha toccato la vita di milioni di iraniani: ha diviso e lacerato famiglie, distrutto vite e carriere, dato speranze illusorie e liberato energie insospettabili, affossato e realizzato sogni, segnando profondamente l’esistenza sia di chi quegli eventi storici li ha vissuti sia di chi è nato dopo e ne ha toccato con mano e ne subisce tuttora le conseguenze. Ripercorrerne le origini, anche attraverso le testimonianze dirette di chi l’ha vissuta, è un esercizio fondamentale. La rivoluzione, come diceva Mao Tse Tung, non è un pranzo di gala. Nemmeno quarant’anni dopo. “Ho letto queste pagine con lo stesso ritmo frenetico con il quale sono accaduti i fatti raccontati con passione e precisione da Sacchetti, impressionata, ancora una volta, dalla violenza che sconvolse l’Iran di quegli anni, dal caos e dal terrore come uniche leggi, ma anche dalle tante e complesse ragioni storiche che portarono allo sconvolgimento di quell’area geografica, la cui onda lunga lambisce e condanna ancora oggi tanti Paesi a scenari di guerra e di morte”.

Secondo una credenza popolare del nord dell’Iran, quando tre rane cantano, vuol dire che sta per piovere. “La pioggia quando arriva?”, chiede Nima Yooshij alla rana in una sua celebre poesia del 1952: una metafora della rivoluzione, ma anche una premonizione. Di lì a poco, infatti, l’Iran avrebbe conosciuto il golpe anti-Mossadeq, la “rivoluzione bianca” voluta dallo scià per modernizzare il Paese, la rivoluzione del 1979 e la nascita della Repubblica islamica. Un Novecento vivace e drammatico ha portato nel terzo millennio un Iran con un’identità forte e apparentemente immutabile. E oggi? All’indomani dello storico accordo sul nucleare, la Repubblica islamica sembra in procinto di entrare definitivamente nel mercato globale. Ma quali sfide e quali compromessi comporta tutto questo per la cultura e il popolo iraniano? Insomma: “La pioggia quando arriva?». La rana e la pioggia è un viaggio nell’Iran dei nostri giorni, attraverso il complesso e affascinante rapporto tra Paese e modernità. “Sacchetti offre al lettore tanti diversi frammenti. Appassionato di cultura persiana, ne ha studiato la lingua e – come gli iraniani – intercala prosa e poesia. Il risultato è una lettura scorrevole, piacevole. Con la politica a fare da filo conduttore con i suoi protagonisti”. (Farian Sabahi)

"Insightful and important.... A readable, timely and valuable contribution to the understanding of the revolutionary forces at work in Iran.... The reader almost becomes a participant." —The New York Times Book Review In Shah of Shahs Kapuscinski brings a mythographer's perspective and a novelist's virtuosity to bear on the overthrow of the last Shah of Iran, one of the most infamous of the United States' client-dictators, who resolved to transform his country into "a second America in a generation," only to be toppled virtually overnight. From his vantage point at the break-up of the old regime, Kapuscinski gives us a compelling history of conspiracy, repression, fanatacism, and revolution. Translated from the Polish by William R. Brand and Katarzyna Mroczkowska-Brand.

The first Muslim woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, Shirin Ebadi has inspired millions around the globe through her work as a human rights lawyer defending women and children against a brutal regime in Iran. Now Ebadi tells her story of courage and defiance in the face of a government out to destroy her, her family, and her mission: to bring justice to the people and the country she loves. For years the Islamic Republic tried to intimidate Ebadi, but after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rose to power in 2005, the censorship and persecution intensified. The government wiretapped Ebadi’s phones, bugged her law firm, sent spies to follow her, harassed her colleagues, detained her daughter, and arrested her sister on trumped-up charges. It shut down her lectures, fired up mobs to attack her home, seized her offices, and nailed a death threat to her front door. Despite finding herself living under circumstances reminiscent of a spy novel, nothing could keep Ebadi from speaking out and standing up for human dignity. But it was not until she received a phone call from her distraught husband—and he made a shocking confession that would all but destroy her family—that she realized what the intelligence apparatus was capable of to silence its critics. The Iranian government would end up taking everything from Shirin Ebadi—her marriage, friends, and colleagues, her home, her legal career, even her Nobel Prize—but the one thing it could never steal was her spirit to fight for justice and a better future. This is the amazing, at times harrowing, simply astonishing story of a woman who would never give up, no matter the risks. Just as her words and deeds have inspired a nation, Until We Are Free will inspire you to find the courage to stand up for your beliefs. Praise for Until We Are Free “Ebadi recounts the cycle of sinister assaults she faced after she won the Nobel Prize in 2003. Her new memoir, written as a novel-like narrative, captures the precariousness of her situation and her determination to ‘stand firm.’”—The Washington Post “Powerful . . . Although [Ebadi’s] memoir underscores that a slow change will have to come from within Iran, it is also proof of the stunning effects of her nonviolent struggle on behalf of those who bravely, and at a very high cost, keep pushing for the most basic rights.”—The New York Times Book Review “Shirin Ebadi is quite simply the most vital voice for freedom and human rights in Iran.”—Reza Aslan, author of No god but God and Zealot “Shirin Ebadi writes of exile hauntingly and speaks of Iran, her homeland, as the poets do. Ebadi is unafraid of addressing the personal as well as the political and does both fiercely, with introspection and fire.”—Fatima Bhutto, author of The Shadow of the Crescent Moon “I would encourage all to read Dr. Shirin Ebadi’s memoir and to understand how her struggle for human rights continued after winning the Nobel Peace Prize. It is also fascinating to see how she has been affected positively and negatively by her Nobel Prize. This is a must read for all.”—Desmond Tutu “A revealing portrait of the state of political oppression in Iran . . . [Ebadi] is an inspiring figure, and her suspenseful, evocative story is unforgettable.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Ebadi’s courage and strength of character are evident throughout this engrossing text.”—Kirkus Reviews
