Publisher: Hachette UK
ISBN: 147366313X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
'A gripping, nostalgic story of the struggle for art, love and freedom . . . captures the complexities and tensions of attempting to choose one's own path, and the vulnerability implicit in investing in love and friendship' Irish Times During the chaotic months leading up to the Iranian Revolution, four young people navigate the increasingly dangerous situation they find themselves in. Damian and Anna are both research students whose lives become enmeshed with Arash, a poet, and his older brother Reza, a lecturer and amateur photographer. Amid riots and mounting arrests, in a state where homosexuality is illegal and dissident voices savagely repressed, each one has to make ever more urgent - and irrevocable - choices. 'A wonderfully accomplished novel that powerfully depicts a forbidden love in a fragmenting world' David Park 'The evocation of time and place feels vivid and authentic. Llewellyn's account is compelling . . . [a] novel that engages in big political questions' Irish Independent

The Unity of Body and Soul
Author: Gholamrza Sabri-Tabrizi
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1312331321
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
I have learned the philosophy of the Unity of Body and Soul in my life. My mother, father, my sisters, my brothers, the near-by people, the trees, flowers, meadows, mountains, and thousands of the things existing in nature, altogether, all the living and lifeless things have been united in my soul. All these things existing in nature created unity of thought, unity of body in me; this unity united with the material world in my soul and was born in the way that there can't be any word about the difference of the soul and matter or nature.

Safavid Persia in the Age of Empires
Author: Charles Melville
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0755633806
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 491
Book Description
The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries saw the establishment of the new Safavid regime in Iran. Along with reuniting the Persian lands under one rule, the Safavids initiated the radical transformation of the religious landscape by introducing Imami Shi'ism as the official state faith and in this as in other ways, laying the foundations of Iran's modern identity. In this book, leading scholars of Iranian history, culture and politics examine the meaning of the idea of Iran in the Safavid period by examining contemporary experiences of both insiders and outsiders, asking how modern scholarship defines the distinctive features of the age. While sometimes viewed as a period of decline from the high points of classical Persian literature and the visual arts of preceding centuries, the chapters of this book demonstrate that the Safavid era was nevertheless a period of great literary and artistic activity in the realms of both secular and theological endeavour. With the establishment of comparable polities across western, southern and central Asia at broadly the same time, the book explores some of the literary and political interactions with Iran's Ottoman, Mughal and Uzbek neighbours. As the volume and frequency of European merchants and diplomats visiting Safavid Persia increased, especially in the seventeenth century, and as more Iranians recorded their own travel experiences to surrounding Muslim lands, the Safavid period is the first in which we can document and explore the contours of Iran's place in an expanding world, and gain insights into how Iranians saw themselves and others saw them.
