Global Cultures, Common History: Iran, Europe and the U.S.

Terence Ward in Berlin

November 23, 2007. Author Terence Ward read from his recent book, “Searching for Hassan:  A Journey into the Heart of Iran,” at the Philip-Schaeffer Library in Berlin Mitte. Mr. Ward spent his early childhood years in Tehran. In this literary memoir, Mr. Ward tells the story of his family’s return to Iran to search for an old family friend. Sketching out the history of the country, he reminds the audience of the close cultural ties between East and West. Mr. Ward is a writer and cross-cultural consultant for multi-national companies, foundations and governments in the Islamic World and the West. The reading, organized by the Embassy in cooperation with the Munich based publisher Fredeking & Thaler and the Philip-Schaeffer Library, was part of the Embassy’s  America@yourlibrary partnership initiative. RBB Radiomultikulti-persisch covered the reading live from the library.
