Selected as one of World Literature Today's 75 Notable Translations of 2013 Spanning five turbulent decades in Iranian history, from before the 1979 revolution, through the Islamic Republic, and up to the present, The Book of Fate is a powerful story of friendship and passion, fear and hope. A teenager in pre-revolutionary Tehran, Massoumeh is an average girl, passionate about learning. On her way to school she meets a local man and falls in love, but when her family discovers his letters they accuse her of bringing them dishonour. She is badly beaten by her brother, and her parents hastily arrange for her to marry a man she’s never met. Facing a life without love, and the prospect of no education, Massoumeh is distraught, but a female neighbour urges her to comply: "We each have a destiny, and you can’t fight yours." The years that follow Massoumeh’s wedding prove transformative for Iran. Hamid, Massoumeh’s husband, is a political dissident and a threat to the Shah’s regime. When the secret service arrive to arrest him, it is the start of a terrifying period for Massoumeh. Her fate, so long dictated by family loyalty and tradition, is now tied to the changing fortunes of her country.

Our second chance is getting twice as hot. I thought trading my hiking boots for wingtips was going to be the worst part of my new job. I was wrong. The first person through my office door is her. Faith. The girl who broke my heart. Humiliated me. Made me swear “never again.” Now I find myself in a tantalizing position. Faith’s non-profit needs money. And I control a sizable grant. My answer should be no. But one look into those blue eyes, and “never again” turns into “again and again and again.” And if I’m not careful, it just might turn into forever. Read the final book in the award-winning Cinnamon Roll Alphas series, featuring a confident plus-size heroine and a scowly outdoorsy hero who end up in only! one! tent! Like all Sara Whitney books, Tempting Fate is bursting with playful banter, upbeat vibes, and a very happy ending. “Sweet, spicy, emotional, and hilarious.” Sarah, Book Obsession Confessions

If the Enlightenment turned to reason to reoccupy the place left vacant by the death of God, the history of the last two centuries has undermined the confidence that reason will bind freedom and keep it responsible. We cannot escape this history, which has issued in a pervasive nihilism and has rendered all appeals to the ethical questionable. Nor could Kierkegaard. The specter of nihilism haunts all of his writings, as it haunts already German romanticism, to which he is so indebted. To exorcize it is his most fundamental concern. And it is the same fundamentally religious concern that makes Kierkegaard so relevant to our situation: What today is to make life meaningful? If not reason, does the turn to the aesthetic promise an answer? To really choose is to bind freedom. Either-Or calls us to make such a choice, i.e. to be authentic. But what does it mean to be authentic? How are we today to think of such an authentic choice? As autonomous action? As a blind leap? As a leap of faith? Either/Or circles around these questions.
