Description & Specifications

For decades, Iran has been consistently at the forefront of international news. But how well do we really know this country and its people? Is it a rogue state that is inevitably headed for international isolation? Is it the cradle of an extreme Islamist fundamentalism that threatens us? Is Iranian society truly sinking into backwardness and stagnation? Ultimately, how much have the stereotypes that constantly reappear affected us?

The book recounts the descent of the Aryans into the lands south of the Caspian, the creation of a vast empire from the shores of the Aegean to India, and the flourishing of a civilization that profoundly influenced peoples from the Eastern Mediterranean to Bengal and the steppes of Central Asia. The authors keenly document the traditions and history of ancient and modern Persia, the strong bond that still connects them, as well as the influences they exerted on the broader region.

Furthermore, they examine the ways in which the tumultuous past and the Persian version of Islam influence not only modern Iran but the entire Muslim world.
