Inspect A History Of Iran: Empire Of The Mind Interpreted By Michael Axworthy Released As Ebook

book is an excellent introduction to the history of Iran, blending detailed historical facts with engaging storytelling.
It covers key events, cultural developments, and political shifts in a way thats easy to follow yet deeply insightful.
Perfect for both casual readers and history enthusiasts looking to understand Irans rich and complex past, Highly recommend Gostei bastante. O autor foi muito bem sucedido em escrever um livro didático e de leitura fácil em relação a um país que tem uma história extensa, cheia de personagens e informações.
Também gostei de o enfoque não ser somente em reis e batalhas, há informações sobre sociedade, as várias religiões que se formaram na Pérsia e um capítulo somente sobre poesia persa.
O enfoque dado aos diversos períodos históricos é equitativa, porém é um bom livro para se entender todo o complexo contexto do Irã atual o texto da versão que eu comprei, capa comum, termina em meados dede uma forma resumida e concisa.
The book is well written but is quite hard to get into if youre not already familiar with Iran history.
Maybe not the best choice for a first introduction, This is an excellent exposition of Iranian history surveying the nations history through the age of empire from the times of Cyrus the Great to the present government led by the Islamic Republic.
One of the first things that will surprise you about this book is how extensive but yet quickly you will be able to move through the time periods of Persian history.
The book starts by describing Persia from the first true Persian Dynasty, the Achaemenid dynasty, followed by the Seleucid, Parthian, Sassanid, Umayyad, Abassid, Saffavid, Qajar, and Phavali dynasties.
The chapters are linked together by stories and important historical developments in each era and transistions smoothly by describing the fall and the rise of the subsequent powers.
In addition, the author dedicated an extensive chapter to the acomplishment of Persian poets including works of Rumi, Saadi, Hafez, and Iraqi.
It is most interesting to understand the role of poetry and its development in Persian history, The symbolism of the poetic works corresponds to subjects such as love, power,

war, and life, However, I find the ones involving love most perxplexing and the usage of the term wine as the metaphor for love.
The symbolic, which are mostly subliminal, of these poems are truly influential, So if you are someone who wants to thumb through a well composed survey of Irans history, culture, and people this book is definitely the right one for you.
It is always breathtaking to see how civilizations can influence each other in the most subtle manner and thus have profound effects just as how people may influence each other.
Ein absolutes muss für jeden der auch nur ein winziges, ja sogar fast verschwindendes Interesse an der Geschichte dieser grossen Nation hat.
Sie/ er wird zweifellos begeistert und hingerissen sein, If youre looking to understand Iran and its history, this is by far one of the most reliable sources.
Ive read quite a few books about the history of my country, Iran in both Persian and English and found most of the ones written by non Persians somehow biased or affected by inaccurate accounts of ancient historians with a bias.
But not this one. The author has a commendable command of the Persian history and, except for very rare lapses, paints the reader a detailed and accurate picture of the Persian Empire and how its evolved through time.
