With a new afterword from Jhumpa Lahiri, a new edition of the contemporary classic.

"Dazzling...An intimate, closely observed family portrait."--The New York Times

"Hugely appealing."--People Magazine

"An exquisitely detailed family saga."--Entertainment Weekly

Meet the Ganguli family, new arrivals from Calcutta, trying their best to become Americans even as they pine for home. The name they bestow on their firstborn, Gogol, betrays all the conflicts of honoring tradition in a new world--conflicts that will haunt Gogol on his own winding path through divided loyalties, comic detours, and wrenching love affairs.

In The Namesake, the Pulitzer Prize winner Jhumpa Lahiri brilliantly illuminates the immigrant experience and the tangled ties between generations.

an excellent reference book
Format: Hardcover
At a time when the U.S. and Israel’s military operation against Iran has become one of the most important issues on the global agenda, this is an excellent reference book that summarizes the historical development of events and provides valuable context for better understanding what is happening today.

Great for better understanding Iran's strategic perspectives
Format: Hardcover
The book moves through the growth of Iran's strategic history since the 1979 revolution. By the time it gets to the last 100 pages its very interesting as far as understanding Iran's perspective. Also found it chilling how foreboding many parts were in light of what is happening right now

Great book to understand Iran's strategy in a historical context
Nasr provides a solid understanding of Iran both in contemporary and historical context. It makes the case clear what and how Iran is thinking. Reading it at the time of Us-Israel and Iran war helped make sense of the news media, which often follows shallow analysis.

Iran’s Strategic Error.
Format: Audiobook
Excellent discussion of Iran’s grand strategy in what they believe will protect their Nation as they continue as the world’s pariah. The book is well written and clearly lays out the history of Iran over the past 50-60 years and why they are implementing this strategy albeit a failed one, and the results. The Ayatollahs continue to pursue the destruction of Israel and struggle via terrorism and supporting war proxies to become the regions power, instead of pursuing economic wealth. This book describes the how’s and whys of this failed strategy. Good reading
