The book "Does Intercultural Dialogue matter?" is on his way

The book is finally published. I talked to the publisher yesterday. He told me that is sent to me on Monday (20.5). it can arrive any minute today. I cant wait seeing "Does Intercultural Dialogue Matter?".  It has been almost one year not writing here. I concentrated on finishing it and writing it up. A very good friend of mine, who is a nobel and strict English editor, helped me a lot. I sent the book at the beginning of March 2019 to the LIT publishing center. It took yes tooooooooooooooo long. Because somebody in charge of designing the book, in LIT, was ill and then unfortunately a bit disordered and improper to make her job done. But lets not complain. Not anymore. The book is on his way.

Weimar and taking Photo for the book

Working on the book faced a break because of the participation in a seminar on "Iran and Media". I ll continue working on the book from tomorrow. 9.Hafis-Dialog was organized by the foundation of Konrad Adenauer. get more info here. The seminar was taken palace in Weimar. That is why I used the opportunity to make some photos from the Denkmal of Hafis-Goethe there. I am going to use the photo for the front page of the book.

For a long time I had no time and opportunity to write about the book project, here. Though I was active to manage relevant things for it. I am grateful to share here that Seyed Mohammad Khatami, the former president of Iran (1997-2005), send a foreword for my book. I have to of course translate the text to English. The text is very nice and poetic written in Farsi. I am really happy that he trusted me and lets his word comes at the beginning of the book.  his text is short and at the end of the text I see his presonal greetings to me, in his own handwriting. I hope the book reflects interesting points. then that would be a good combination of analysis on dialogue and words of somebody who tried to extend the dialogue culture in the Iranian society a decade ago.  Thanks to Miss. Sadr for her strong and uninterrupted supports...
