It takes shape in the cities of Iran, the cities of Germany, France, England, Switzerland, Austria and of Pakistan and culminates in Canada. The storyteller, Joseph Reza Fanai, escaped to Pakistan in 1982. There, as a refugee, he extracted the first draft of this story in FARSI out of a 3000 page diary. He arrived in Canada in 1984, learned English and began the English manuscipt. There has never been such a firsthand account by a refugee manifesting the transforming power and grace of the multicultural spirit in humity. From Middle East is the story of fall and rise, of hate and love. It is the story of pain and joy in the discovery of a richer life after the dissolution of each prejudice. The story is full of people with blond hair and blue eyes and other colours. The growiing economic and cultural interdependence of first and third countries is reflected in the mosaic of its characters. It is a lively portrayal of people transcending their regional minds from moncultural biases to a treasury of mulricultural thoughts. From Middle East enriches the reader's life. It explores the realms of human bondage not mentioned in daily news. It casts light on the often overlooked sources of deep contentment and happiness. The story immerses the reader in a journey from one part of theworld to others, from one culture to other cultures, form one self to many selves and from the borders of nationalism to borders-free multiculturalism. It is frank indictment of today's institutions of religion, marriage, eduation and other international affairs. Such multicultural literature binds nations as love binds hearts."; Book Weight = 400 Grams; Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" Tall. Book.
