Audio Book (CD). Condition: Good. Unabridged. He is in a foreign country, he is alone, and he is just a boy.Abbas Kazerooni is not yet ten, but hes suddenly forced to leave his parents, his friends-his entire world-and flee Tehran. The Iran-Iraq war is at its bloodiest, and the Ayatollahs who rule Iran have reduced the recruitment age for the army. If Abbas doesnt escape, its almost certain that he will be drafted and die fighting for a regime that has stripped his family of all they have.On his own in the strange, often frightening city of Istanbul, Abbas grows up fast-with little more than his wits to guide him. He must conquer difficult things: how to live on his own, how to navigate a foreign city and culture when he doesnt speak the language, and, most importantly, how to judge who is a friend and who is an enemy. Facing the unexpected as well as the everyday challenges of life on his own, Abbas walks a tightrope of survival-yearning to please the demanding father he has left behind, yet relishing his new found independence.His quick thinking, entrepreneurial spirit, and the kindness of strangers allow him to make the best of his dire situation in surprising ways. Does he have what it takes to not only survive against these challenging odds but achieve his parents ultimate dream for him: a visa to England, and the safety it represents?This compelling true story of one young boys courage provides a powerful childs-eye view of war, political tumult, and survival."Readers of Abbas Kazerooni's incredible memoir will be rooting for him from the very first pages-and not be able to put this book down. His frank narrative is clear, compelling, and utterly endearing. An unforgettable story-I love this book!" -Naomi Shihab Nye, winner of the 2013 NSK Neustadt Prize in Childrens Literature"This heart-stopping memoir of a young boy who fled Iran on his own after the 1979 Revolution left me wondering whether adults could be so resilient. Enormously inspiring on many levels!" -Suzanne Fisher Staples, author of Shabanu, a Newbery Honor Book"Abbas Kazerooni offers the world a remarkable memoir as he tells of his escape from revolutionary Iran when he was just a young boy. Faced with the prospect of never seeing his parents again, he struggles to find his way in Istanbul, where survival often depends on his skill in knowing who to trust and when to flee. This is a compelling story full of tension and heartbreak." -Terry Farish, author of The Good Braider, Best Fiction for Young Adults 2013, the American Library Association.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In Corporeality, Hollis Seamon's latest fiction collection, we meet the cat lady, the professor dealing with a plagiarist while coping with personal hardships, sibling rivalry of the unnaturally cursed kind, the dog that goes beyond everyday dog sense and scent to protect its owners. These are some of the eclectic characters and settings that make Corporeality irresistible and difficult to put down once you've started reading. Like her preceding collection Body Work and mystery novel Flesh, this book is a testament to Seamon's ample gifts as a storyteller.PRAISE FOR CORPOREALITY:Hollis Seamon's Corporeality is a wonderful collection of stories, dazzling and unsentimental, full of everyday tragedies, fairy-tale motifs, and rambunctious, life-affirming characters who stand up to bullies and to fate, whether in a hospice, a flophouse, or a university classroom. It's a feast of language that you won't soon forget. Alan Davis, author of So Bravely Vegetative and Alone with the OwlThe characters in Corporeality are smart. Smart enough to see that the world is chaos and decay, but sometimes too smart for their jobs, whether they're professors or trash collectors. And they are way too smart for their undependable bodies, which is the great rub of Hollis Seamon's fine and original stories. How do we cope, these carefully calibrated stories ask, when our minds grow daily more perceptive and sharp and witty, yet the darkness still approaches Dave King, author of The Ha-HaWhat a magical collection! Hollis Seamon's enchanting stories will make you marvel anew at the forever strange, blessed, and heart-breaking affliction we share as human beings on this earth. Seamon's lovingly-rendered characters will linger in your memory for a long, long time. Edward Schwarzschild, author of Responsible MenThese stories make memorable the people you wonder about in passing the cat lady, the deformed, the witness to a questionable death, the professor who walks out of class never to return, the teen boy in hospice, the neighbors of the crazy, victims of acts of god, the loveless and forlorn. Written with both humor and pathos, the quirky characters in Hollis Seamon's stories drew me in and left me, as she writes, astonished by life. Eugenia Kim, author of The Calligrapher's DaughterHollis Seamon casts full and dazzling light on those who are often overlooked teenaged lovebirds in hospice, flood victims before the flood, plagiarists, arsonists, old ladies, fat dogs. She brings them to life so tenderly and powerfully that they stay with you, long after the last page. Nalini Jones, author of What You Call WinterABOUT THE AUTHOR:Hollis Seamon is the author of a mystery novel, Flesh; a young adult novel, Somebody Up There HATES You (forthcoming, Algonquin Books); and a previous short story collection, Body Work. She has published short stories in many journals, including Bellevue Literary Review, Greensboro Review, Fiction International, Chicago Review, Nebraska Review, Persimmon Tree, and Calyx. Her work has been anthologized in The Strange History of Suzanne LaFleshe and Other Stories of Women and Fatness, A Line of Cutting Women, The Best of the Bellevue Literary Review, and Sacred Ground. She is a recipient of a fiction fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts. Seamon is Professor of English at the College of Saint Rose in Albany NY and also teaches for the MFA in Creative Writing Program at Fairfield University, Fairfield CT. She lives in Kinderhook NY.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. He is in a foreign country, he is alone, and he is just a boy. Abbas Kazerooni is not yet ten, but he's suddenly forced to leave his parents, his friends--his entire world--and flee Tehran. The Iran-Iraq war is at its bloodiest, and the Ayatollahs who rule Iran have reduced the recruitment age for the army. If Abbas doesn't escape, it's almost certain that he will be drafted and die fighting for a regime that has stripped his family of all they have. On his own in the strange, often frightening city of Istanbul, Abbas grows up fast--with little more than his wits to guide him. He must conquer difficult things: how to live on his own, how to navigate a foreign city and culture when he doesn't speak the language, and, most importantly, how to judge who is a friend and who is an enemy. Facing the unexpected as well as the everyday challenges of life on his own, Abbas walks a tightrope of survival--yearning to please the demanding father he has left behind, yet relishing his new found independence. His quick thinking, entrepreneurial spirit, and the kindness of strangers allow him to make the best of his dire situation in surprising ways. Does he have what it takes to not only survive against these challenging odds but achieve his parents' ultimate dream for him: a visa to England, and the safety it represents? This compelling true story of one young boy's courage provides a powerful child's-eye view of war, political tumult, and survival. "Readers of Abbas Kazerooni's incredible memoir will be rooting for him from the very first pages--and not be able to put this book down. His frank narrative is clear, compelling, and utterly endearing. An unforgettable story--I love this book!" --Naomi Shihab Nye, winner of the 2013 NSK Neustadt Prize in Children's Literature "This heart-stopping memoir of a young boy who fled Iran on his own after the 1979 Revolution left me wondering whether adults could be so resilient. Enormously inspiring on many levels!" -Suzanne Fisher Staples, author of Shabanu , a Newbery Honor Book "Abbas Kazerooni offers the world a remarkable memoir as he tells of his escape from revolutionary Iran when he was just a young boy. Faced with the prospect of never seeing his parents again, he struggles to find his way in Istanbul, where survival often depends on his skill in knowing who to trust and when to flee. This is a compelling story full of tension and heartbreak." -Terry Farish, author of The Good Braider , Best Fiction for Young Adults 2013, the American Library Association Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
