    A question of personal identity
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2013*

Karimi Nasseri, who began to call himself "Sir, Alfred Mehran" (comma included, after the salutation in a letter he once received), came from a wealthy family in Iran, the son of a respected medical doctor. However, he learned to his shock on reaching college age, when his father died, that he would receive no inheritance because his birth was the outcome of an affair between his father and a Scottish nurse. In Iran, the penalty for adultery is stoning although not for the offspring. The offspring, however, have no rights of any kind. After his false mother coldly told him that she was not his real mother, she left the room and he never saw her again. His uncles proposed a deal: they would send him to an English university for three years, all expenses paid, but he must never come back to embarrass the family. I can imagine the shock this revelation must have been to his sense of identity and self worth. But it was to get much worse. Due to loss of all his identity documents by a mugging in Paris while traveling in Europe some years later, he became trapped in limbo in the Charles de Gaulle airport when no other country would accept him as a refugee. He could not return to Iran because of political expulsion for having once joined a British march protesting the Shah. After many years passed, he was offered travel papers but by then he had come to believe that he was not really Iranian after his rejection by his family and his status as an exile. He stubbornly refused to sign the travel papers identifying him as an Iranian. Therefore he chose to remain living on a bench in the departure lounge of Terminal One. Finally, after almost eighteen years at the airport (August 1988 to July 2006), he was removed to a hospital and placed eventually in an Emmaus shelter in Paris for homeless people where he lives to this day, according to a Wikipedia article. It is not known whether he ever learned the full name of his mother or made contact with her as he long wished to do.The price of this book has skyrocketed in the past month. Maybe the current situation of limbo at Sheremetyevo airport has increased demand for this story. I hope that Corgi Books in Great Britain will issue a reprint.

    Worth reading
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2012*

The book arrived, from the seller in England, in a week. Impressive.  The book is interesting and a bit of page turner. The author, Sir Alfred, is somewhat stubborn and by the end of the book I did not have as much sympathy for him as maybe I should. The storyline would make for a better movie than the not-so-good Spielberg/Hanks film of the same name.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Amazing story
  

*by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2012*

I truly enjoyed this book. Though it's never directly confirmed, I believe the movie the Terminal with Tom Hanks was based on this amazing, amazing story. But READ THIS BOOK because there's much, much more to it and the story is so inspiring and eye-opening. Not the fastest moving, but remember it's a true story.
