Persia (RLE Iran A)
Author: Richard Frye
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136841547
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
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.

Category : Social Science
Languages : en

Studies in Ancient Persian History (RLE Iran A)
Author: P. Kershasp
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136841407
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
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.
