Al E | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Written by a preeminent Iranian writer who helped lay the popular groundwork for the Iranian Revolution, The Israeli Republic documents Jalal Al-e Ahmad's trip to Israel in 1963 - in the thriving Jewish State, Jalal Al-e Ahmad saw a model for a possible future Iran. Based on his controversial travelogue, supplemented with letters between the author and Simin Daneshvar (his wife and a giant in Iranian literature), and translated into English for the first time, The Israeli Republic is a vibrantly modern record of Al-e Ahmad's idealism and insight.
