LOST WITHOUT MY DAUGHTER
Book ID/图书代码： 12844006B01680
English Summary/英文概要： In 1987, American housewife Betty Mahmoody published Not Without My Daughter, which became a sensation. In the book, Betty claimed that she and Mahtob, her five-year-old daughter, had been kidnapped from the USA in 1984 and imprisoned in Tehran by her Iranian husband, Dr Sayed Mahmoody - aka ‘Moody’ - a man she vilified as a violent, sadistic monster.
Betty’s story culminated with a dramatic escape, as she takes her daughter from Iran over the Zagros Mountains and into Turkey. The book sold 12 million copies and inspired the 1991 Hollywood film of the same name, starring Oscar-winner Sally Field. For twenty years Betty’s husband has kept silent. Now, in Lost Without My Daughter, Sayed Mahmoody finally reveals the astonishing truth.
As well as being a moving, frank story of a once happy family’s collapse, and a father’s subsequent search for meaning in his life, Lost Without My Daughter is also a cultural and political history of Iran, from the revolution to the present day. Perhaps more than anything, it is an exercise in truth, the last-ditch attempt of a father desperate to reach his daughter, to let her know that he is not the monster he has been portrayed to be.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1987年，美国家庭主妇贝蒂•马赫穆迪出版了书籍《与女儿同在》，轰动一时，斩获了巨大的成功。在书中，贝蒂描述了她和五岁的女儿马赫拖布于1984年遭遇绑架后被带离美国，并被她的伊朗丈夫萨耶德•马赫穆迪医生囚禁在德黑兰，萨耶德•马赫穆迪又名“喜怒无常”，贝蒂称他为一个残暴、性施虐的怪兽。
贝蒂的故事最终迎来了一场戏剧性的逃亡，她带着女儿翻越伊朗西南部的扎格罗斯山脉，进入了土耳其禁内。该书售出120万册，并直接启发了1991年好莱坞同名卖座电影的拍摄，有奥斯卡影后萨利•菲尔德饰演。20年来贝蒂的丈夫也一直保持沉默，如今在《没有女儿的迷失之旅》一书中，萨耶德•马赫穆迪终于揭开了事实的真相。
《没有女儿的迷失之旅》是一个动人而坦诚的故事，讲述了一个曾经快乐的家庭的分崩离析，以及一名父亲是如何在随后的生命历程中找寻意义的，同时，本书也讲述了伊朗的文化与政治历史，从革命到如今的社会。或许最重要的是，本书是一次对真相和事实的练习，是一名父亲用尽最后的力气，在极度的渴望之中试图触及他的女儿，让女儿知道，他如今已不再是当年书中所描绘的那个怪物。（DC）
