Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eighteenth and nineteenth century European, British and American newspapers constitute a rich and largely untapped source of contemporary, often eyewitness accounts of historical events and opinions concerning Iran from the late Safavid (1712) through the Qajar (c. 1797-1920) period. This study collects and annotates thousands of articles published in the Colonial and early Republican American newspapers, from the first mention of events in Persia in the American press (1712) to the death of Mohammad Shah (1848), unlocking for the first time a wealth of information on Iran and its place in the world during the 18th and early 19th century.

Book excerpt: Persians who travelled to the West during the Safavid and early Qajar period (early 17th-to-early 19th century) have received little attention. This book memorializes them in portraiture and pulls them back from historical obscurity. It brings together twenty-nine images-drawings, paintings, etchings, lithographs and even a silhouette-done in Boston, Geneva, London, Paris, Prague, Saratoga Springs, St. Petersburg, Vienna and Washington DC, between 1601 and 1842. In the days before photography, portraits commemorated their visits to distant capitals. Some of the subjects were members of Persia's élite, some from modest backgrounds, and all were on a mission of one sort or another. Today, the images offer us rare glimpses of the dress, accoutrements and regalia that so distinguished the travelers. Subjects of fascination for both contemporary artists and a public intrigued by all things Persian, the sitters in these works left an indelible mark in the consciousness of Western observers, only a few of whom ever journeyed themselves to the Land of the Lion and the Sun.

Book Synopsis Albert Houtum Schindler: A Remarkable Polymath in Late-Qajar Iran by : D.T. Potts
Download or read book Albert Houtum Schindler: A Remarkable Polymath in Late-Qajar Iran written by D.T. Potts and published by Mage Publishers. This book was released on 2023-08-09 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely regarded in his lifetime as the greatest living authority on all things Iranian, across an enormous range of disciplines, Albert Houtum Schindler lived and worked in Iran from 1868 to 1911. All who either met or corresponded with him came away praising his encyclopaedic knowledge and remarkable insight. A member of numerous learned societies in Europe, he sustained a wide web of intellectual contacts and was insatiably curious. As an employee of the Indo-European Telegraph Department, the Imperial Bank of Persia and the Persian Bank Mining Rights Corporation, he experienced firsthand the ups and downs of Iran’s slow but inexorable movement towards modernity. Yet when he died in 1916 his obituaries were frustratingly brief. Private when it came to the details of his personal life, Albert Houtum Schindler gave little away. This book is the first full-scale examination of the life and legacy of an extraordinary witness to the late-Qajar period and the land, people and history of Iran.

This book was released on 1856 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A FEW years ago it fell to my lot to make a journey to Persia, and to reside there nearly four years. At this moment, when public attention is so much directed to the East, I have thought my recollections of the scenes I have visited may not be without interest to a few readers. One advantage I enjoyed over many preceding travellers in Persia. I have been able to see the anderoons or harams of the Shah and some of the principal personages of his Court; and to judge, to a certain extent, with my own eyes, of the condition of women in that portion of the East. Circumstances over which we had no control forced us to pursue the distant route of Poland and Russia, which, however, was to me rather a matter of rejoicing than otherwise, notwithstanding the fatigue and the prospect of climbing the Caucasus, perhaps in winter, as I knew that in all probability our return to England would be by the more usual road of Turkish Armenia, which shall be described in its proper place. In this respect I must give my meed of praise to Russia, for, bad as may be the land of the "Moscovs," it is, for a lady-traveller, far to be preferred to Turkish Armenia. "The Lord deliver me from Sir Harry Vane!" might Cromwell exclaim; but I say, "The Lord deliver me from Turkish Armenia, its subterranean dwellings and their blinding smoke, with cows, buffaloes, sheep, goats, asses, horses, fleas, bugs, and other small deer unmentionable, for companions and comrades!" On the 7th of August, 1849, after avoiding a formal leave-takingÐthat dreariest and most painful mode of seeking consolation at partingÐwe commenced our journey towards the land of the sun. We were a cumbrous party, consisting, besides my husband and myself, of three Irish and one French servant, and last, though far from least, our inseparable companion and cherished friend Crab, who, by his endearing ways, solaced afterwards many a weary hour, but who, alas! was not destined to revisit his native Scotland. He sleeps deep in the waters of Smyrna.

Book Synopsis Unveiling Persia by : Khashayar Bahar
Download or read book Unveiling Persia written by Khashayar Bahar and published by Asin. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unveiling Persia" is an easy-reading, concise book that's an alternative narrative and a reflective history of Persia, as told from a Zoroastrian perspective, with a personal voice, quite relevant to the current political climate regarding "Islam" and "Muslims". Through the pages, Bahar ventures to unravel the psychological repercussions and inferences brought about by the Islamic Conquest of Persia on to the different tribes of Persians, in general and as minorities, their treatment, along with the socio-political progression of "Islamic Iran" up to now. The "Feminine Principle" sheds light on how Iranian women are generally seen, treated and governed by Islamic Sharia (the Islamic Code), and currently by the Islamic Republic of Iran, (i.e. Hadith, Koranic and historical references); particularly the treatment of women by the Iranian prison system. "Evin Prison" studies the dark history of the notorious Iranian prison, as well as listing names of current inmates, some of whom are foreign nationals. The "Ferdowsi" chapter elaborates on the author of the "Shah-Nameh", in contrast to other legitimate historians, and seeks to demonstrate how Iranians view their own history. The "Omar Khayyam" chapter elucidates on the genius poet, mathematician, astronomer's influence in defining contemporary Persian culture and agnosticism. The story of Opium and how it ties in with the Iranian psyche and society, points to latent issues that have never been brought up before. The "Sufism" chapter delves into the roots of Persian gnosticism and its relation to pre-Islamic Persia, entailing a brief history, explanation, comparison and contrast of numerous Sufi masters and orders. "Persian Exodus" explains the essential key players in the socio-artistic evolution of 20th century Iranian culture. "Junkyard" explores the history of western exploitation and influence on the industrial, domestic and foreign policies of the region, as well as the underlying forces that have shaped Iran's industrial revolution and environmental disasters. "Unveiling Persia" is accurate, well-sourced and imperative to better understanding Islam and Iranians; particularly now that "Islam" and "Muslims" comprise the daily news headlines, shrouding the Iranian story in clouds of ambiguity and misunderstanding. "Unveiling Persia" reminds everyone that Persia (Iran) is home to countless tribes of people, ethnicities and view-points; and that Iranians need to be heard.
