Shiraz. Chapter 6

The universities in summer were like abandoned cities, like sets for a play that had already been performed. The students had left, and in the long, echoing corridors, silence reigned, broken only by the hum of the lamps and the footsteps of a few rare professors. It was the perfect atmosphere to discern not the people, but the very essence, the architecture of these two worlds. The empty corridors and echoing auditoriums of the University of Tehran

Shiraz. Chapter 5

The car flowed with the traffic, and outside the window, a different Iran flashed by—not ancient and poetic like Shiraz, but modern, harsh, full of glass and concrete. They drove down wide avenues, and Zahra, pressed against the window, watched this seething world, which resembled a gigantic, nervous, eternally rushing mechanism. Here, even the trees seemed not living, but cast from metal and coated with a layer of dust

A week later, they went to Tehran. The train, an early morning express, carried them from the sleepy city shrouded in pre-dawn haze to the humming, nervous heart of the country. The station was like a lazy giant reluctantly opening one eye. The few passengers moved slowly, as if afraid to wake the silence. The official reason for the trip was a visit to Uncle Hossein, her mother’s younger brother, a successful carpet merchant

Shiraz. Chapter 3

Two weeks later, the air in Shiraz seemed lighter. Something had subtly changed, as if a heavy, invisible shroud had been lifted from the city. In the evenings, there were more young people on the avenues and in the parks. They weren’t doing anything forbidden. They were simply there—sitting on benches, laughing a little louder than before, their laughter mixing with the music drifting from the open windows of cars

Shiraz. Chapter 2

The euphoria was almost palpable. It hung in the Shiraz air like the sweet pollen of blossoming acacia trees. Khatami’s victory was not just a victory. It was a miracle, a violation of the laws of political physics. Seventy percent. A number whispered in bazaars and university lecture halls. A number that meant the unseen, silent Iran had suddenly found its voice. Zahra’s mother, Roxana, walked around the house with a smile Zahra hadn’t seen in years

Shiraz. Chapter 1

On that May day, Shiraz seemed to hold its breath. The air, thick with the scent of blossoming bitter orange trees, vibrated with unspoken anticipation. It wasn’t just a Friday, the sacred day of rest and prayer. It was the day of choice, and that very word, almost forgotten, was being spoken in kitchens and teahouses, sometimes in whispers, sometimes with a feverish glint in the eyes. Zahra walked between her parents, her hand lost in the large, warm palm of her father

Shiraz. Prologue

Sometimes, when the insomnia became unbearable, Zahra would read—not physics, not reports—she would read the strange, marginal blogs of Western intellectuals; it was like looking at another planet, a planet that Uncle Javad had invented in the living room of their old house in Shiraz, only he didn’t know he was inventing someone else’s future, and they don’t know they are living in someone else’s past

Четыре сюжета и одни похороны: «Мэйхуа. Триптих 2.o» как грандиозная игра с мифами Борхеса

Хорхе Луис Борхес однажды заметил, что за всю историю человечества было рассказано всего четыре истории: об осаде города, о возвращении, о поиске и о самоубийстве бога. «Мэйхуа. Триптих 2.о» — это смелый и, без преувеличения, грандиозный литературный проект, который берет эту лаконичную формулу и превращает её в свою архитектуру. Это книга, которая исследует их как фундаментальные законы бытия, как строки кода

Архитектура теней в саду роз

«Шираз» — это не просто приквел «Исфахана». Это ключ, который превращает шпионский триллер в глубокую семейную трагедию и пугающе точный философский комментарий к нашему времени. «Шираз» — это путешествие к истокам. Не к истокам иранской ядерной программы, а к истокам одной идеи, одного вируса мысли, который, зародившись в прокуренной гостиной в 1997 году, определил не только судьбу одной семьи, но и интеллектуальные ландшафты нашего XXI века
