Original price was: 12,07 د.ا.Current price is: 10,65 د.ا.

In this book, a mixture of literary criticism and the author’s autobiography, through her passion for literature, Nafisi offers an assessment of her new home (the United States), after the author became an American citizen in 2008. Nafisi says: “Long before I made America my home, I lived inside its novels, poetry, music and films.” Since her immigration, she has been teaching literature at Johns Hopkins University in the United States.

Description

The book (The Republic of Imagination) may seem to be an exploration of the character of America in its past, present, and future, as seen through American literature, but in reality it may be more than that, or sometimes less, as Nafisi sheds light in her book on three books: (The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn), (Babbitt), and (The Heart is a Hunter Without a Mate), and through them she tries to discover what it means to be an American, and the meaning of transcending this national identity to become a citizen of what the writer calls the broader, borderless republic of imagination.
