TEHRAN (IBNA) -- The best-selling American novel ‘Five Feet Apart’ by Rachael Lippincott, Mikki ýDaughtry and Tobias Iaconis which opens new horizons for teen readers has been ýtranslated into Persian and published.ý
The book has been translated into Persian by Fa’ezeh Da’emi and Javad Karimi is centered on the life of a 17- year-old girl named Stella Grant who suffers from cystic fibrosis and is active in social media to cope with her illness in a bid to live a normal life.
The synopsis of ‘Five Feet Apart’ reads: "Stella Grant likes to be in control—even though her totally out of control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to control most is keeping herself away from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart, no exceptions.
The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn’t care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial. Soon, he’ll turn eighteen and then he’ll be able to unplug all these machines and actually go see the world, not just its hospitals.
Will’s exactly what Stella needs to stay away from. If he so much as breathes on Stella, she could lose her spot on the transplant list. Either one of them could die. The only way to stay alive is to stay apart. But suddenly six feet doesn’t feel like safety. It feels like punishment.
What if they could steal back just a little bit of the space their broken lungs have stolen from them? Would five feet apart really be so dangerous if it stops their hearts from breaking too?”
The novel was adapted into a box office hit movie with the same title directed by Justin Baldoni which screened this year.
‘Five Feet Apart’ in Persian has been released by Elmi va Farhangi Publishing in Tehran.
