Modern Iran (Rle Iran A)

by L Elwell-Sutton

212,00€ + 10% CARD

 This volume shows the progress and achievements of Iran up to the 1940s within the setting of her ancient history and her strategic position in the world today. The author discusses Iran’s vital position as the dividing line between the East and the West and how Iran drew from and contributed to both these cultures, without losing her own individuality. It is this cultural influence, the author argues, rather than any political strength that has enabled her to survive. Much of the information is taken from sources not available in English or any other language other than Persian.

Persia (Rle Iran A)

by Richard Frye

50,34€ + 10% CARD

 This volume is a fascinating portrait of a part of the world uneasily balanced between many loyalties - East and West, European and Arabic. The coronation of the Shah in 1967 marked the end of the need for foreign aid, and Iran emerged from her struggles to become the leading nation in the Middle East. Written before the crippling Iran-Iraq war broke out, this book looked forward to Iran’s great future, which, in the author’s opinion, could only be achieved if she broke with her traditions to form a new material and spiritual synthesis.

by Marzieh Gail

Studies In Ancient Persian History (Rle Iran A)

by P. Kershasp

74,19€ + 10% CARD

 This volume lays the foundation of a "correct" view of ancient Persian history, which, in the author’s opinion, had hitherto been approached from a "biased standpoint." It presents a survey of ancient and modern historians such as Gibbon, Malcolm and Rawlinson and critiques their work - either for having too much partiality for Greek and Latin writers, not being conversant with the literature of the East or not doing justice to the ancient Persians. Arab and Persian historians are also discussed and social, literary, legal, religious, economic and political questions examined.
