Breaking the ban in Iran

BBC: The latest novel by Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez has been banned in Iran - but only after censors noticed its title had been sanitised. The book, Memories of My Melancholy Whores, was published in Farsi as Memories of My Melancholy Sweethearts. The first edition of 5,000 had sold out before the authorities realised. The novel tells the story of a man who wants to mark his 90th birthday by sleeping with a 14-year-old virgin in a brothel and ends up falling in love>>>

DOWNLOAD (PDF file) the full translation by Amir Hossein Fatanat. This version was published outside Iran. The banned version in Iran is translated by Kaveh Mir-Abbasi.

Loved it

I loved the poem by Sher and it is so true. That makes life worth leaving. Without hope we are nothing. Better days will come back some day.

The Idiocy Of Ignorance

You Can Not Suffocate Inquiry By Banning It ..
You Can Not Ban Wisdom By Abolishing It ..
...
You Can Not Ban The Love of Reading By Rationing It ..
You Can Not Imprison Genius By Attacking It ..
...
Physically, You May Slow Progress ..
But The Restless Soul Will Ultimately Catch Up ..
...
If "Ferdowsi" was Afraid of Islam, He would Never Have Written the Shahnameh ..
If Galileo Was Afraid of The Catholic Church, He Would Never Have Introduced Us To The Wonders of the Universe ..
If Molana Was Afraid of These Mullahs, He Would Never Have Written The Beauty of Shams ..
And Finally,

If All The Artists of All Times Have been Afraid, We Would Not Have Had The Wonder and Beauty That We Have Today ..
...
You can Suffocate Human Spirit For a While ..
But Not For Long ..
The "Rush" of Human Passion WILL Ultimately Prevail ..
Breaking Down "ALL" Obstacles ..
...
Be "ABSOLUTELY SURE" of That ..
