    A Macat Analysis of Hamid Dabashi's Iran: A People Interrupted , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 104min
    Iranian American writer and scholar Hamid Dabashi wrote Iran: A People Interrupted amid the political fallout following the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York - his adopted city - in 2001. As US President George W. Bush declared a "war on terror" and named Iran as part of an "axis of evil" that supported terrorism, Dabashi offered an insider's insight into the Iranian psyche. The book explores more than 200 years of Iran's cultural history. It shows how Iranian poets, writers, and thinkers have always reflected the people's long struggle against both foreign and domestic tyranny. This artistic heritage explains the profoundly anti-colonial ideology of a 21st century Iran determined to forge modernity on its own terms. The author weaves in his own stories of growing up under the Shah of Iran, and the Islamic Revolution that replaced the royal Shah with the religious Ayatollah. An outspoken political commentator, Dabashi divides fellow scholars and commentators with this book. Praised as "highly original" by some and dubbed "arrogant" by others, it remains an important contribution to understanding a country never far from the world stage. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Tyrant's Wife: Eruption Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 81min
    As the world moves towards total turmoil and its leaders struggle to control the chaos, the planet seeks a strong man to prevent the catastrophe. The ancient book refers to him as the Third Man. The high oracle in Iran named Mazdak, detained in the infamous Evin prison in Tehran, knows the identity of the Third Man and the date of his revelation. One February morning, from his prison cell, Mazdak predicts that the Third Man will ignite the volcano on which the Tyrant of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei, has built his Islamic citadel. He prophesies, "Iran will be Persia again, and she alone will save the world." On that same morning, the Tyrant wakes up after a disturbing dream, similar to those of King Herod and the Pharaoh. Panicked, he calls his estranged wife. She helps him by piecing together elements of his dream and reality. The first is Prophet Mohammed's double-pointed sword, the second is her husband's political and religious position, and the third is the man in the Tyrant's dream. She believes that the dream is not to be taken lightly and urges him to tap Mazdak's supernatural skills. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Brewster.

    The King of Oil (eBook, ePUB)
    Billionaire oil trader Marc Rich for the first time talks at length about his private life (including his expensive divorce from wife Denise); his invention of the spot oil market which made his fortune and changed the world economy; his lucrative and unpublicized dealings with Ayatollah Khomeini’s Iran, Fidel Castro’s Cuba, war-ravaged Angola, and apartheid South Africa; his quiet cooperation with the Israeli and U.S. governments (even after he was indicted for tax fraud by Rudy Guiliani) and near-comical attempts by U.S. officials to kidnap him illegally.This sure-to-make-headlines book is the first no-holds-barred biography of Rich, who was famously pardoned by Bill Clinton, and resurfaced in the news during the confirmation hearings of Attorney General Eric Holder. The King of Oil sheds stunning new light on one of the most controversial international businessmen of all time, charting Rich’s rise from the Holocaust, which he fled as a young boy, to become the wealthiest and most powerful oil and commodities trader of the century. From his earliest trading days to the present, Marc Rich’s story is astonishing and compelling.

    Khomeini
    Kein anderer Revolutionär hat die islamische Welt so sehr verändert wie Ruhollah Musawi Khomeini (1902 - 1989). Katajun Amirpur entdeckt in dieser ersten umfassenden Khomeini-Biographie in deutscher Sprache einen im Westen weitgehend unbekannten Gelehrten, Dichter und Mystiker und erklärt, wie es dem charismatischen Asketen gelang, den schiitischen Islam zu politisieren und den übermächtigen Westen in Angst und Schrecken zu versetzen.Khomeini gibt bis heute Rätsel auf: Der modebewusste Ayatollah besang in eleganten Gedichten den Wein und die Liebe, verband Mystik mit klassischer Gelehrsamkeit und nahm im Pariser Exil Liberale und Linke für sich ein. War er wirklich so vielschichtig? War vieles Verstellung? Oder nahm er innerlich keinen Anteil? Auf die Frage eines Journalisten, was er nach fünfzehn Jahren im Exil bei der Rückkehr nach Iran empfinde, antwortete er schlicht: «Nichts!» Ähnlich emotionslos verheizte er die Jugend an der Front und ließ politische Gegner hinrichten. Katajun Amirpur erzählt anschaulich und im Kontext der iranischen Geschichte das Leben Khomeinis von der Kindheit in einer Provinzstadt bis zum Tod in Teheran. Sie beschreibt seine frühe Prägung durch den schiitischen Islam, stellt seine wichtigsten Lehrer, Weggefährten und Werke vor und erklärt, wie er eine traditionell unpolitische Glaubenswelt in wenigen Jahren umpolte. Noch über dreißig Jahre nach seinem Tod ist Khomeini in Iran übermächtig: Selbst Oppositionelle reklamieren sein wahres Erbe für sich, wie Katajun Amirpur am Ende ihres fesselnden Buches zeigt.

    Tehran's Vengeance: A Joe Matthews Thriller , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 609min
    In a brazen daylight attack on his motorcade, Jonathan Lewis, the US ambassador to Iraq, is missing and every member of his diplomatic security detail is killed. Joe Matthews and his team of paramilitary officers deploy to the region with a CIA response group to investigate the incident and locate Ambassador Jonathan Lewis. With the help of a traitorous congressional staffer, elements deep inside Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are able to identify the individuals responsible for launching a devastating cyberattack against their country’s nuclear program. The list includes eight high-ranking members of government and industry in America, Britain, Germany, and Israel. Armed with this knowledge, the leadership in Tehran decides it is time to exact its vengeance on the West. Acting on orders from the Ayatollah himself, Quds Force Major Hamid Farzan and his right-hand man, Lieutenant Yousef Mehrdad, blaze a trail of destruction across the Middle East and Europe, crossing names off the Supreme Leader’s hit list one at a time.  Matthews’ team splits time between tracking the assassins and protecting officials believed to be in the Iranians’ crosshairs. But with the ability to choose the time, place, and method of attack, Farzan and Mehrdad manage to stay one step ahead of their pursuers at every turn. It is only a matter of time before the Iranians’ unique brand of violence lands on the shores of the United States, home to the last three targets on the list. It is up to Matthews’ team of operators to make sure that doesn’t happen. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Patrick Hopkins.

    The Iranian Revolution: The Islamic Revolution That Reshaped the Middle East , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 100min
    The Iranian Revolution of 1979 has been described as an epochal event, called the peak of 20th century Islamic revivalism and revitalization, and analyzed as the one key incident that continues to impact politics across Iran, the Middle East, and the even the world as a whole. As a phenomenon that led to the creation of the first modern Islamic Republic in the world, the revolution marked the victory of Islam over secular politics, and Iran quickly became the aspiring model for Islamic fundamentalists and revivalists across the globe, regardless of nationality, culture, or religious sect.  When Ayatollah Khomeini was declared ruler in December 1979 and the judicial system originally modeled on that of the West was swiftly replaced by one purely based on Islamic law, much of the world was in shock that such a religiously driven revolution could succeed so quickly, especially when it had such sweeping consequences beyond the realm of religion. Revolutions are nothing new, but most revolutions, especially those in the West, have tended to remain secular. Even when religious ideology and themes were present, as in the English Civil War of the 1640s, these were not dominant driving forces behind the revolution, nor were they a significant factor in its immediate results. Even outside the West, this has mostly proven to be true; the nationalist revolution and war for independence in Turkey, led by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, was a battle for separation of church and state that called for democratic principles of equality, and the result was the formation of a modern and secular Turkey. ungekürzt.

    To the Best of Our Knowledge: Uses of Enchantment, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
    In this hour, Just because we've all grown up and aren't supposed to believe in fairy tales and magic doesn't mean we don't still need them. This hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge offers conversations with Neil Gaiman, A.S. Byatt and Salman Rushdie about the uses of enchantment. Signe Pike starts things off with her story about the search for magic. She chucked her job at a NY publishing house to looking for fairies in Mexico and the British Isles. Signe Pike talks with Anne Strainchamps about her novel Faery Tale. Next, Neil Gaiman is among the most celebrated writers of the fantastic. He's a transplant to the Midwest who discovered the House on the Rock in Spring Green, WI and made it famous in his novel American Gods. He returned there in 2010 for a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the novel and allowed himself to be pulled away from his fans long enough to talk about it with Steve Paulson. Salman Rushdie's life has been a fantasy, but not necessarily in the way he would have wanted. The Ayatollah issued a death warrant on him after his book The Satanic Verses, but it has finally been withdrawn. His new book involves dangers of a more literary kind. He tells Jim Fleming he wrote his new book Luka and the Fire of Life at his younger son's request.Finally, fairy tales are part of all our lives, whether it's Snow White or Cinderella of Little Red Riding Hood. Old stories like those exist in many versions, in many cultures, all over the world. Writer A.S. Byatt has been studying them, and writing them. She tells Anne Strainchamps these are some of the oldest and most powerful stories we have. [Broadcast Date: December 24, 2010] Language: English.
