Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a journey through Persia in the mid-19th century, offering a fascinating glimpse into the country's vibrant culture, diverse landscapes, and complex political landscape. The author, a keen observer, captures the everyday lives of Persians, Armenians, and Europeans in Isfahan, the ancient capital. He delves into the intricacies of the Persian court, providing insights into the power struggles between the Shah and his sons, particularly the ambitious Zill-us-Sultan. Beyond the political machinations, the book explores the impact of burgeoning opium trade on the economy, its role in shaping social dynamics, and the tensions it creates within the Persian empire. Through vivid descriptions of villages, bazaars, and the rugged mountains, the author paints a captivating picture of a land in transition, a land caught between tradition and modernity. The book's insights into the cultural, economic, and political dynamics of Persia during a pivotal period provide a valuable contribution to our understanding of the region's history and its place within the broader context of 19th-century empires.
