Keshvar-e akharin ha

From a background of ease and comfort, from a time and place where life still makes some kind of sense, Anna Blume embarks on a search for her missing brother. She finds herself trapped in a world whose consciousness is obsessed with last things, where the masses are homeless, and theft is a fact of life. Paradoxically, in this society only death and destruction provide any means for survival. Anna becomes a scavenger, selling remainders of the past for food and shelter. Paul Auster, the author of the acclaimed film Smoke, describes a frightened person in a frightening world…but one who in the end proves that enduring values will have a place wherever people must live.
