Teheran, 1979. Behsad, giovane rivoluzionario comunista, lotta per un nuovo ordine dopo la cacciata dello Scià. Ci trascina nelle sue azioni clandestine, ci confessa le sue speranze per un nuovo Iran e ci racconta come, nel cuore della lotta, abbia incontrato l’amore della sua vita, Nahid. Dieci anni dopo, Behsad e Nahid si trovano in Germania. Insieme ai loro figli, Laleh e Morad, sono fuggiti dall’Iran dopo l’ascesa al potere di Khomeini. Di notte tutto è silenzio a Teheran racconta quattro decenni di un popolo in lotta.

Award-winning poet Safia Elhillo reinvents the epic to explore Muslim girlhood and shame, the dangers of being a woman, and the myriad violences enacted and imagined against women’s bodies. Drawing from her own life and family histories, as well as cultural myths and news stories about honor killings and genital mutilation, she interlaces the everyday traumas of growing up a girl under patriarchy with magical realist imaginings of rebellion, autonomy, and power.

Орхан Памук – известный турецкий писатель, обладатель многочисленных национальных и международных премий, в числе которых Нобелевская премия по литературе за «поиск души своего меланхолического города». Душа города всегда обретается в его прошлом, возможно, поэтому талант Памука так блестяще проявляется в исторических романах, таких как «Имя мне – Красный» и «Белая крепость». Сюжет «Белой крепости», действие которого происходит в 17 веке, одновременно прост и загадочен, подобно древней арабской миниатюре: главный герой, молодой итальянец, попадает в плен к туркам, где становится рабом странного человека, одержимого познанием вселенной.
