If the Sun Dies

Oriana Fallaci's 1965 account of the year she spent among the astronauts, engineers and scientists of the American space programme. Written as a diary and as a running argument with her father, who distrusts the new age while she is drawn to it, the book weighs technological progress against human fear. Persian translation by Atefeh Nariman, hardcover edition. For readers of reportage and memoir.
