Description Concering Books Het huis van de moskee

De familie van Aga Djan is al eeuwenlang de belangrijkste familie in de Iraanse stad Senedjan. Zij wonen in het huis naast de Djomè-moskee, de grootste moskee van een stad waar het vrijdaggebed wordt gehouden. Van generatie op generatie komt de imam van de moskee uit de familie van Aga Djan; als het verhaal opent, is dit zijn neef Alsaberi. Als tapijtverkoper staat Aga Djan bovendien aan het hoofd van de bazaar en heeft economische macht. Kader Abdolah vertelt in deze roman over de geschiedenis van Iran door in te zoomen op de invloed van de gebeurtenissen op deze familie. Als de revolutie wordt voorbereid en uitbreekt, komt de samenleving onder druk te staan en verliest de familie langzaamaan al hun invloed en zekerheden.

Crit About Books Het huis van de moskee

I have a lot of things to say about this book, unfortunately all of them are quite incoherent at the moment. But I think they all bottle down to this: this book is incredible and everything about it is just beautiful. This book is divided in two parts, the first part is almost a fairytale, it has an amazing atmosphere and makes you care about the characters.The second part mainly deals with the revolution and the ascent to power of the ayatollah Khomeini, and how this influences society.

This highly readable and engaging semi-autobiographical novel (the author fled Iran for The Netherlands in 1985) tells the story of the Iranian revolution, from the late 1960s onwards. Events are seen from the perspective of one family in the provincial town of Senejan, not far from the religious city of Qom. The attractive central character is Aga Djaan, whose compound includes the mosque - Het huis van de moskee of the title. There he lives with his extended family, including his cousin the

This book begins calmly as a story about a family in a religious city in Iran. Abdolah zooms in on the figure of Aga Djan, who thoughtfully manages both his (larger) family, the mosque and the bazar of his town and is respected by every one. This specific, rather exotic world is outlined in a very sympathetic, sometimes touching way with great attention for human details. But gradually things change: modernity penetrates the country, as a conscious result of the policies of the Shah and his

The House of the Mosque starts somehow acceptable; showing signs of magic realism, establishes itself to be a historical novel with skewed fictionalized characters, some of whom are real historical figures. By the time that story reaches 1979 revolution it starts to shift points of views repeatedly and loses the stream of storytelling that was going rather fine before that. characters' actions become unravelled and summarized; and as a reader who rather knows what has went on in those years, I

Those kinds of novels answers the question that is always asked.how u are a Muslim and u are afraid of Sharia law?this doesn't make sense,may be ,but the problem is not in Sharia law,it is in those who define it. and how their thinking is Deviated.Peoples opinion(especially those Islamic politicians) should never be reflected in the making the laws.they destroy Islams image as a religion of peace and justice.how could Osama bin laden be following the same religion of Rumi?in a a male dominated

I recently read A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, and The House of the Mosque was recommended as a somewhat similar narrative - with Iran's recent history and challenges as a backdrop, instead of Afghanistan. I thought this book was even more beautifully written and an understanding of 70s' and 80s' Iran that not much else can give you cramped in under 365 pages. The house is chaotic, the characters powerful and the political climate just another example of how grand ideas mixed with

This is an amazing book. The writer weaves the tale of an extended family in a remote town with the political and social events in the world beyond and how each of them is affected. The revolution ursurps into the household and changes peoples minds and their thoughts, breaks up relationships between parents and children, brings out the worst within the community, challenges ancient traditions and changes the perspective of religion. The meek and subservient are empowered by religious leaders,
