It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge.

Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Le collier ondulait comme les anneaux d'un serpent dont chaque écaille aurait été un éclair." "Le Collier de la reine" (1849) s'inspire de faits réels concernant l'affaire du collier de la reine Marie-Antoinette qui défraya la chronique dans les années 1780.

"Straordinariamente simile all'Albero della Conoscenza nell'Eden era quel Polo Nord: tutto il resto della terra era aperto e offerto all'uomo... ma 'quello' invece rimaneva nascosto e vietato; come quando un padre posa la mano sulla testa del figlio e gli dice: "Non qui, figlio mio; puoi andare dove ti pare, ma non qui".

Gli esseri umani vivono in un perenne stato di sogno. Sognano quando il cervello dorme, ma anche quando è sveglio. Hanno saputo creare un grande sogno esteriore, il "sogno della società", costituito da innumerevoli sogni personali, familiari e di comunità. Questo sogno esteriore possiede una grande quantità di regole che ci sono state inculcate fin dalla nascita. Abbiamo così imparato come comportarci in una data società, cosa credere, cosa è bene e cosa è male, bello o brutto, giusto o sbagliato.

A former member of the State Department's Policy Planning Council, Polk describes a country and a history misunderstood by many in the West. While Iranians chafe under the yolk of their current leaders, they also have bitter memories of generations of British, Russian, and American espionage, invasion, and dominance. There are important lessons to be learned from the past, and Polk teases them out of a long and rich history and shows that it is not just now, but for decades to come that an understanding of Iran will be essential to American safety and well-being.

Savushun chronicles the life of a Persian family during the Allied occupation of Iran during World War II. It is set in Shiraz, a town which evokes images of Persepolis and pre-Islamic monuments, the great poets, the shrines, Sufis, and nomadic tribes within a historical web of the interests, privilege, and influence of foreign powers; corruption, incompetence, and arrogance of persons in authority; the paternalistic landowner-peasant relationship; tribalism; and the fear of famine.
