The Terminal Man is the extraordinary story of Mehran Karimi Nasseria, better known as 'Sir Alfred' of Charles de Gaulle Airport. Sir Alfred has spent the last 15 years living and sleeping inside the airport's Terminal One building, trapped in international no-man's land without the proper documentation needed to move on. Sir Alfred was born in Iran in 1945. When he was twenty his father died and he received an even greater shock when the woman he regarded as his mother told him he wasn't her son, but the result of a union between his father and a British nurse. A deal was agreed for Sir Alfred to disappear overseas to England and his family would pay for his studies. After a year at university, his family broke all contact and he returned to Iran where he was imprisoned for his political activism, was arrested and tortured. He was then expelled from Iran with a passport valid for just one year - so he was now a stateless person. He was mugged on his way to Charles de Gaulle airport in 1988 and lost all his documents. He boarded a plane to London but without the appropriate documentation was sent straight back to Paris. On trying to leave the airport he was arrested and sentenced as an illegal immigrant, and served six months in jail. Upon his release, he returned to Charles de Gaulle and was refused permission to enter any other country. Fearing arrest if he left the terminal building but unable to board a flight, he was trapped there for years. He sleeps on a red bench borrowed from an old bar, surrounded by piles of newspapers and magazines stored in cargo boxes and his extensive diary. As Sir Alfred remained trapped between countries his fame began to spread. There have been numerous press and magazines articles around the globe; he receives hundreds of letters from well-wishers as well as his visits and has also featured in three documentary feature films about his plight as the world's only celebrity homeless person. Political refugee, prisoner, exile, rebel, gentleman, citizen of the world, media magnet and, most of all, delayed passenger, The Terminal Man tells Sir Alfred's incredible and unique life story in his own words.

ペーパーバックを初めて読む方にお勧めです。著者にとって英語が第二言語のようで、かなり文法の間違いがあります。しかし、英語学習者にとっては、簡単な文章で書かれているため、とても読みやすいです。
結末は、とても悲しいです。客観的に書かれている分、悲しさが倍増です。

潔癖なる静止

2005年2月3日に日本でレビュー済み

～潔癖とも言える几帳面、心配性。そして頑固、拘泥。といっても、国家権力を相手取って闘うというほどの仰々しさはなく、あくまでも淡々と語られる。
いつも空港で繰り返される定型のアナウンスが定常性を訴える一方で、彼は唇を撫でる癖によって、かろうじて自己同一性を保つ。
テレビで感電する夢、日蝕、消えるタンカー。
出発案内の「DELAYED」は消えた。～～果たして彼の出発は近づいたのか。～

A question of personal identity

2013年7月14日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

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.

Interesting story. His mental illness becomes ever more apparent by the end of the book. I found it a little depressing truth be told, but a good read.

Worth reading

2012年4月5日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

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.
