Real beauty is the beauty of the soul

IBNA (Iran Book News Agency) Religion and Thought Service – Seyedeh Masoumeh Mohammadi; In a world where eyes are captivated by appearances and hearts are caught up in the superficiality of things, at a time when fleeting and shallow criteria have replaced high human values, in an era where virtual filters, heavy makeup, and cosmetic surgeries have created a new definition of human beauty, a brilliant and distinct work reaches us that, with a fluid pen, pleasant language, and deep insight, redefines the boundary between beauty and ugliness and invites us to rethink our beliefs and standards.

‘Ugly Beautiful, Beautiful Ugly’ is not only a story about a girl named Maria, narrating more than ten years of her life, but also a full-length mirror that places all of us before ourselves and asks us to look at the deepest layers of our being to see what we truly consider beautiful and what we consider ugly, and most importantly, on what basis we have established these standards.
