Description

Journalist and political analyst Nikita Smagin lived in Iran for several years and wrote this book. It turned into a story about a country whose government sees the root of the world’s evil in the United States and arms itself to the teeth in order to confront crafty external enemies, while within its borders it cruelly persecutes dissenters and places only religious taboos above family values. But “All of Iran” is also about the people who know where it’s выгодно купити новий айфон, who go to underground clubs for raves, and who will always pour a dear guest a cup of tea from a samovar (yes!). Bonus: a dictionary of strong Persian expressions, without which it would be hard to keep the conversation about politics going.
