The Struggle for Persia (Classic Reprint) by Donald Stuart Pdf

Excerpt from The Struggle for Persia None of my predecessors (and they may be counted on the fingers) who have taken the almost impassable route between Eastern Russia (via Tabriz) to Teheran having thought fit to record their experiences, it devolves upon my unworthy self to narrate mine in this veritable "terra incognita." The interest lately awakened in England with reference to Persian affairs, together with the lamentable loss of British prestige and British influence, and the overwhelming power of Russia - as they appeared to me - must be my further excuse for bringing them to the notice of all lovers of king and country, in the earnest hope that means may be found to retrieve the paramount supremacy of England in a country where once it was without a rival.

Recent Happenings in Persia (Classic Reprint) by J. M. Balfour Pdf

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.

Persia (Classic Reprint) by Percy Sykes Pdf

Excerpt from Persia The rivers Of Persia are of little importance. It is possible to ride from north to south and from east to west, almost without crossing a river. Indeed from the Indus to the shatt-al-arab no important river reaches the sea. In the north the river, termed the Sufid Rud in its lower reaches, is the longest in Persia. In the south-west, the Karun is the only navigable river of Persia, and that for merely a short distance.

Persia by a Persian by Isaac Adams Pdf

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.

Ancient History by Charles Rollin Pdf

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.

Persia and the Persians (Classic Reprint) by Samuel Greene Wheeler Benjamin Pdf

Excerpt from Persia and the Persians The use of i in the spelling of Oriental words where e, for those employing the English language, would more correctly represent the actual pronunciation, is an anomaly that can be accounted for only on the ground that the Latins preceded the anglo-saxons in the East, and with them i is always 6. But in retaining the Latin orthography we forget that i in the Continental languages never has the long i sound peculiar to the English tongue.

Omar, the Tentmaker by Nathan Haskell Dole Pdf

Excerpt from Omar, the Tentmaker: A Romance of Old Persia The great Clock of the Ages had scarcely more than marked with its hour-hand the beginning of its second revolution since the birth of our era. In England, Edward the Confessor was just closing his long and virtuous reign, and William the Conqueror was setting sail from France with his suite of Nor man knights; Sancho III. Was king in Spain; Henry IV. Was king in Germany, and Philip I. In France. The mighty impulse that led to the Crusades, and sent millions of men to fight and die in the ideal cause of freeing the holy places from the contami nating control of the Saracens, was already beginning to be felt throughout Europe.
