Beschreibung:
When he was a boy, Aga Akbar, the deaf-mute illegitimate son of a Persian nobleman, traveled with his uncle to a cave on nearby Saffron Mountain. Once there, he was to copy a three-thousand-year-old cuneiform inscription?an order of the first king of Persia?as a means of freeing himself from his emotional confinement. For the remainder of his life, Aga Akbar used these cuneiform characters to fill a notebook with writings only he could understand. Years later, his son, Ishmael?a political dissident in exile?is attempting to translate the notebook . . . and in the process tells his father's story, his own, and the story of twentieth-century Iran.
