Book excerpt: Charles Rollin, a French historian and educator, took it upon himself to write compendiums of Ancient history. Rollin's Ancient History: History of the Persians is an in depth look at Persia through geography, politics, and history. The book begins exploring the "Physical History of Persia" which refers to the provinces of Persia. While exploring the Western, Eastern, and Central provinces, Rollin also goes into depth on specific places such as Gedrosia, Carmania, and Arachosia. Rollin also explores topical elements such as mountains, rivers, and lakes of note. In addition, he examines the climate of Persia and the multitude of things Persia produces. This physical history is a solid foundation for further exploration of Persia. The next section of the book explores political history. Rollins examines the power of Persian kings. He also discusses the Seven State Counselors, and administrative powers. In addition, he looks at both military power and priestly power in Persia. Rollin knows that understanding the political history of Persia helps the reader get a greater understanding of Persia as a whole. To increase the reader's knowledge of Persian politics, Rollin dedicates the next section to discussing specific Persian Kings and their reigns. Ultimately, it is the politics of Persia that truly interest Rollin and he dedicates the end of the book to discussing that and its importance. But while dynasties are ruled by kings and are powerful at one point in time, Rollin leaves the reader with a final thought: "In this age, power and empire are in the hands of one people; in the next, a nation unheard of before comes forth, and rudely plucks it from their hands. By whose direction do these things occur?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Persia by a Persian: Personal Experiences, Manners, Customs, Habits, Religious and Social Life in Persia While out on lecture tours in this country, I have been asked many questions about the manners, customs, and peculiarities of my own people. These questions I have found it very difficult to answer in the little volume, Darkness and Daybreak, so as to give anything like a clear picture either of the people or the country in the brief time that I had to answer them under such circumstances, and, hence this book which I now present to the public, with the earnest hope that it may find a welcome.

Book excerpt: During the first and second millennia BCE a swathe of nomadic peoples migrated outward from Central Asia into the Eurasian periphery. One group of these people would find themselves encamped in an unpromising, arid region just south of the Caspian Sea. From these modest and uncertain beginnings, they would go on to form one of the most powerful empires in history: the Persian Empire. In this book, Geoffrey and Brenda Parker tell the captivating story of this ancient civilization and its enduring legacy to the world. The authors examine the unique features of Persian life and trace their influence throughout the centuries. They examine the environmental difficulties the early Persians encountered and how, in overcoming them, they were able to develop a unique culture that would culminate in the massive, first empire, the Achaemenid Empire. Extending their influence into the maritime west, they fought the Greeks for mastery of the eastern Mediterranean—one of the most significant geopolitical contests of the ancient world. And the authors paint vivid portraits of Persian cities and their spectacular achievements: intricate and far-reaching roadways, an astonishing irrigation system that created desert paradises, and, above all, an extraordinary reflection of the diverse peoples that inhabited them. Informed and original, this is a history of an incomparable culture whose influence can still be seen, millennia later, in modern-day Iran and the wider Middle East.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Persia as It Is: Being Sketches of Modern Persian Life and Character The very cordial reception given to a previous work on Persia, giving a systematic description of the country as seen by me, of my journeys to and through Persia, and of my long residence in that country, has induced me to produce various sketches of modern Persian life and character under the present title of 'Persia As It Is.' Living as I did as a doctor in large practice in the heart of Persia, I shall perhaps not be considered presumptuous in having an opinion on this particular subject. The present volume records many of the most interesting and curious phases of Persian life. Most sojourners in the East rarely penetrate the veil which hides one-half of the population; the fact of my being a hakim (or physician) gave me the opportunity of doing so.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent Happenings in Persia I would, then, ask my Persian friends to believe that my criticism is actuated by no feeling of un friendliness, but Solely by a desire to present facts in their true colours. I have to acknowledge my great indebtedness to H. H. Hormoz Mirza for having kindly offered to read that portion of this book which had been written prior to my departure from Persia, and for having placed at my disposal his wide knowledge regarding events and conditions. The Opinions expressed are, however, my own, since he agreed with me that it would be out of place for a native of the country to attempt to inﬂuence the impression formed by a soj ourner.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Persia From the Beginning of the Nineteenth Century to the Year 1858: With a Review of the Principal Events That Led to the Establishment of the Kajar Dynasty It was suggested to me to continue the history of Persia from the period at which Sir J. Malcolm's work ends to the present time; but it appeared to me to be desirable to include in this volume a resume of the leading events which paved the way for the establishment of the Kajar dynasty. As, however, I can throw little or no new light upon the events of that period of Persian history, I have not devoted much space to it; and refer the reader to the eloquent pages of Sir John Malcolm for fuller details. From the death of Aga Mahomed Khan to the present time - an interval of about seventy years - the history of Persia has not, I believe, been written (excepting by Persian chroniclers) in any continuous form, although the events of certain periods have been described with sufficient accuracy and fulness. With regard to some portions of the history of modern Persia, I have had to trust to such information as was to be derived from Persian sources.
