Acerca de este título
 Want to understand Iran beyond the headlines? This is the country before and after 1979, told by someone who lived it. EDITORIAL REVIEWS 5 STARS: Readers' Favorite, Audiobook Edition "Author Shahin Samadi made sure his readers were hooked and listening to his story from start to finish. He brought pre-revolutionary Iran to life in such loving detail... The narrative is crisp and focused. You can tell every scene was chosen with real care. Narrator Wence Cajucom did a fantastic job of embodying Shahin Samadi's desperation to survive and create a life worth living. He became Shahin, embraced his flaws, and added heart to the narrative. I highly recommend this audiobook." Rabia Tanveer, Readers' Favorite (5 Stars) 5 STARS: Readers' Favorite "Shahin Samadi offers a captivating cultural commentary in Currents of Being, bringing to life the ancestral history of the Amarlu tribe alongside engaging portraits of Iranian cities, traditions, and cuisine... This memoir reads like a meditation on life, helping readers see that it is a current that propels us to destinations we might not have considered. The prose is crisp, and the author writes with details that make you linger over Faloodeh Shirazi, Shandiz lamb chops, and the Caspian's shores." Ruffina Oserio, Readers' Favorite (5 Stars) Volume I is where I come from. I left Tehran in the summer of 1976. I was fifteen, and I left to attend college in the United States. By the time I understood that I would not be going back, the country I knew no longer existed. I wrote this book so the generations after me would know where we come from, because they have never had the chance to go and see it for themselves. My children and grandchildren have grown up American. They know Iran as a headline. I wanted them to know it as a place where people fell in love, argued about money, walked home from school, and believed the future belonged to them. So this is a memoir, and it is also a record. It moves through Tabriz, Tehran, Shiraz, Bandar Pahlavi, Khorramabad and Mashhad. It carries the ancestral history of the Amarlu tribe, the summers at the Caspian, the food, the poetry, and the ordinary afternoons. Then it follows what happened to all of it after the revolution of 1979, and what it took to build a life on the other side of the world. This is not a political analysis written from outside. It is lived history, and I have tried to be honest about both what was lost and what was never as solid as it looked. I am a computer scientist by training, with a doctorate from George Washington University and a career spent with NASA, NOAA and the Department of Defense. This is not the book anyone expected me to write. It is the one I could not leave unwritten. Volume II, Eternal Wisdom, is what I have learned along the way.©2024 Shahin Samadi (P)2026 Shahin Samadi Culturales y regionales Desarrollo personal Histórico Éxito personal
