![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The fight against the German Order took place in the territory of Lithuania in the thirteenth to fourteenth centuries: wars were ruthless in the Middle Ages – both Lithuanians and Germans burned, looted, raped and killed peaceful people living in enemy territory. Lithuanians were first forced to leave their homes because of wars. Forced migration, also known as forced displacement, occurs when people have to leave their homes due to a military conflict, a natural disaster, or political or religious persecution. But there were many periods in the history of Lithuania when people had to leave against their will. We call those living in a foreign country emigrants (from the word to migrate, to travel). Today, Lithuanians usually leave their homeland voluntarily for economic reasons – they hope to find a better paid job abroad and reach their full potential in their professional field. ![]()

His seminal work, Mudir-i Madrasah (The School Principal) (1958) is social criticism as much as a novel-a blend that has led to many of Al-i Ahmad's works, especially his later ones, being banned. ![]() His first works of fiction began to appear in 1945. 020 Al-I Ahmad, Jalal Life Dates:1923-1969 Born in Tehran, Iran, in 1923, Jalal Al-i Ahmad is considered to be one of Iran's major modern prose writers, distinguished in both fiction and nonfiction.

My friend Dave, a fount of erudition on sporting matters, gave me this book a number of years ago as a birthday present. A title decider perhaps but not the type my son wished for.
