Memories of a Bygone Age
Author: Prince Arfa
Publisher: Gingko Library
ISBN: 9781909942868
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Set against the backdrop of Iran’s struggle against the rising powers of Russia and Britain, the memoirs of Mirza Riza Khan Arfa’-ed-Dowleh—otherwise known as Prince Arfa (1853–1902)—are packed with picaresque adventures as the prince tells the story of his rise from humble provincial beginnings to the heights of the Iranian state. With this translation, his incredible story is brought to life for the first time in English. Prince Arfa writes with arresting wit about the deadly intrigues of the Qajar court. Lamentingly, but resolutely, he chronicles the decline of Iran from a once great empire to an almost bankrupt, lawless state, in which social unrest is channelled and exploited by the clergy. He describes the complex interactions between Iran and Europe, including an account of Naser-od-Din Shah’s profligate visits to Britain and France; the splendor and eccentricities of the doomed Tsar Nicholas II’s court; the Tsar’s omen-laden coronation; and his own favor with the Tsarina, who would grant him concessions on matters of vital importance to his country. The result is a memoir of extraordinary political intrigue.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bygone Memories: And Other Poems One of the last of the ever-delightful essays published by Richard Jeffries was an exposition of the variety of the colour yellow. Taking the flower of the common marigold, the skin of an orange, and a gold sovereign for starting points, and adding other illustrations as he proceeded, he showed that there was in that one colour a perfect arch of graded shades. If this be the case in the world of colour, and in a single colour of that world, how much more, if a Richard Jeffries were still here to do it, could variety be shown in the grading of poetry. Poetry depends for its very existence on elements which are subject to variety, and are themselves various. It is the expression of the differing moods, temperaments, and training of the poets themselves. It is the record of the ten thousand differing events in the history of individual life, home, and country. It is the joy or sorrow, the love or blight, of the singer, or of the age or people of whom he sings. It induces impressions from external nature and from passing life.
