Etat : Fair. Spuren von Feuchtigkeit / Nasse; Gebogener Buchrucken. Tehran, June 12, 2009. Mohsen Abbaspour, an ordinary young man in his twenties--not particularly political, or ambitious, or worldly--casts the first vote of his life in Iran's tenth presidential election. Fed up with rising unemployment and inflation, he backs the reformist party and its candidate, Mir-Hossein Mousavi. Mohsen believes his vote will count.It will not. Almost the instant the polls close, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will declare himself president by an overwhelming majority. And as the Western world scrambles to make sense of the brazenly fraudulent election, Mohsen, along with his friends and family and neighbors, will experience a sense of utter desolation, and then something an increasingly sharper feeling--the beginning of anger. In a matter of weeks, millions of Iranians will flow into the streets, chanting in protest, "Death to the dictator!" Mohsen Abbaspour will be swept up in an uncontrollable and ultimately devastating chain of events.Like Philip Gourevitch's We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families and Ryszard Kapuscinski's incisive reportage, Death to the Dictator! stuns readers with its heartbreaking immediacy. Our pseudonymous author was a keen eyewitness in Tehran during the summer of 2009 and beyond. In this brave and true book, we see what we are not supposed to see, and learn what we are not supposed to know.

Paperback. Etat : New. For much of the world, Iran's 2009 summer of upheaval was an epic piece of theatre distantly observed. As citizens took to the streets in their millions to protest a stolen election and the regime that made it possible, and later, in smaller numbers, did battle with the shock troops of the Islamic Republic, so the country became effectively off limits for the world's media. This dramatic confrontation - and the deep divisions that opened among Iran's rulers as a result - have yet to be convincingly described for a Western audience. Afsaneh Moqadam observed and took part in the momentous events of that summer. Here, through the eyes of Mohsen, one of Tehran's young, courageous protesters, Moqadam tells the story of these historic months, from the mass marches that greeted the disputed election results to their brutal suppression by the hated Basij militia - and a dark aftermath of imprisonment, torture and a show trial worthy of Stalinist Russia. The result is an inspiring account of a confrontation that has signalled the fragility of the Islamic Republic and given pause to those Western leaders, notably President Barack Obama, who must grapple diplomatically with what may become the world's next nuclear power. Above all, "Death to the Dictator!" is testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and its ability to strike fear in the hearts of despots.

Brossura. Etat : new. Traduzione di Rota Sperti S.Milano, 2011; br., pp. 187, cm 15,5x21,5.(La Cultura. 733). Mohsen Abbaspour, un giovane come tanti - impegnato ma non estremista, pragmatico ma non indifferente -, il 12 giugno 2009, a Teheran, va a votare per le elezioni presidenziali. Anche lui, come moltissimi iraniani, è stanco dell'inflazione e stremato dalla disoccupazione. Anche lui è indignato dal modo in cui Ahmadinejad ha gettato al vento gli ingenti ricavi petroliferi del paese; anche lui è insofferente verso la Guardia Rivoluzionaria, che ha allungato i suoi tentacoli in tutte le pieghe della società. Come moltissimi iraniani, Mohsen sceglie di votare il leader dei riformisti, Mir-Hossein Mousavi. E crede che il suo voto abbia un peso. Non è così. Alla chiusura delle urne, con sospetta e fulminea rapidità, Mahmud Ahmadinejad è proclamato presidente. Una nube di amarezza opprime l'Iran e il mondo intero. Mentre l'opinione pubblica occidentale protesta, Mohsen, con amici, parenti e vicini di casa, scende spontaneamente in piazza contro i brogli elettorali del regime. Giorno dopo giorno, milioni di iraniani si ammassano nelle strade, urlano «Morte al dittatore!», affrontano corpo a corpo l'esercito della Repubblica islamica. Mohsen sarà travolto da un'inarrestabile e devastante catena di eventi. In Morte al dittatore, con gli occhi del giovane Mohsen riviviamo i momenti più drammatici di quella lotta. Dalle manifestazioni di massa alla feroce repressione delle milizie di Ahmadinejad, fino agli arresti e alle torture in carcere. Afsaneh Moqadam è uno pseudonimo. Libro.
