Product Information
In 1979, seemingly overnight, Iran became the first revolutionary theocracy in modern times. Since then, the country has been a sinister presence looming over the West. But inside Iran, a breath-taking drama has unfolded as religious thinkers, political operatives, poets, journalists and activists have imagined and reimagined what Iran should be. This is their story, told by acclaimed journalist Laura Secor. Essential reading, Children of Paradise will stand as a classic of political reporting; an indelible portrait of a nation and its people.

Praise for Children of Paradise : "Anyone who ever thought of Iran as a monolith must read Children of Paradise , which takes the reader far behind its fearsome caricature. The children referred to in the title are the brilliant dreamers behind the transformative ideology that produced today's Iran. This is a meticulously reported intellectual history, but much more. Secor doesn't flinch from depicting the cruelty of the revolutionary republic, but throughout, it is the passion and promise of the people that shines through." --Barbara Demick, author of the National Book Award finalist Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea, Named a Must-Read by Flavorwire Praise for Children of Paradise : " Could not be more timely . ... Indelibly portrays the journalists, dissidents, reformers and student activists who have fought bravely for their ideals in a country where voicing one''s beliefs has often led to imprisonment, torture and death. ... Secor''s portraits create an impressionistic montage of Iranian life during the last 37 years, which is hugely valuable in helping us understand Iran''s complex back story. ... They provide sharp, pinhole windows into a country that for many years has seemed, in her words, like "a black box whose contents were all but unknowable." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "A deeply moving, intimate collection of personal stories...[Secor gives], through extensive interviews with Iranians in the country and in exile, a first-rate, highly readable intellectual history ... Ms. Secor is at her very best when she relays the bravery and despair of dissidents , in particular the agony of women who have thrown themselves into the fight...Ms. Secor last visited Iran in 2012. We can hope that she isn''t denied a visa in the future for her truth-telling. If she is, Children of Paradise was worth the price." -- Wall Street Journal "Democracy is always a work in progress. This point is made crystal clear in journalist Laura Secor''s exhaustively researched book ... an insightful view of the evolving intellectual character of a nation that has been largely hidden from us for forty years. ... A stellar example of investigative journalism and narrative nonfiction." - San Francisco Chronicle "[ Children of Paradise ]covers a wide array of people, from political thinkers to reformers to revolutionaries, and provides fascinating glimpses and insights into a number of conflicts within Iran, as well as exploring the ideological debates behind them -- ones which may have previously made little sense to many Western observers." -- Signature Reads "Secor''s book, which peers inside the "black box" of a complex theocratic regime over the course of decades, will likely provide grist for arguments on more than one side." - Flavorwire "Revealing [and] often shocking... An insightful chronicle of bloody repression and brave defiance." - Kirkus Reviews "This immersive intellectual history... offers a firm grounding in the last 40 years of Iranian political thought and the many actions it has inspired in a complicated and fascinating country." - Publishers Weekly "Anyone who wants to understand the forces shaping post-revolutionary Iran will be rewarded by this intimate and intellectually thrilling portrait. It''s a towering accomplishment." - Lawrence Wright, author of The Looming Tower and Thirteen Days in September "Transcending the political clichés that are often offered as new insights on Iran, this wonderful and timely book provides a glimpse into what Secor calls the "soul of the matter." For once the focus is not on the rulers but on those who, with anguish and determination, tried to bring about political change -- even as they themselves were transformed -- and their desire, above all, to restore and preserve their country''s sense of dignity, and their own." --Azar Nafisi, author of Reading Lolita in Tehran and The Republic of Imagination "Anyone who ever thought of Iran as a monolith must read Children of Paradise , which takes the reader far behind its fearsome caricature. The children referred to in the title are the brilliant dreamers behind the transformative ideology that produced today''s Iran. This is a meticulously reported intellectual history, but much more.
