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.

The Sun That Rose from the Earth
Author: Shamsur Rahman Faruqi
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 9351188639
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 592
Book Description
A young Rajput, orphaned by the revolt of 1857, travels many years later from Cawnpore to Delhi on a mission to meet the great poet Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib himself. Young Mir Taqi Mir, a rising star in the world of poetry, meets the first great love of his life, Nurus Saadat, an exquisite beauty from Isfahan. An aspiring poet learns of the life and work of Shaikh Mushafi through the stories told by his widow. Poets and poetry occupy centre stage in these magnificent tales by Shamsur Rahman Faruqi, the celebrated master of Urdu prose. Set in the great cities of north India and spanning the glittering age of the Mughals, The Sun That Rose from the Earth brilliantly recreates the lives of several poets who exemplify the land and culture of Hindustan—from Ghalib and Mir to Kishan Chand Ikhlas and Mushafi. With elegance and skill, Faruqi transforms these figures into vital, breathing beings alive in all their flawed magnificence.
