| Summary/Abstract |
The American media has portrayed Iran as a remote country inhabited by a people who speak an obscure tongue called Farsi and whose religious fanaticism is unmatched. For those who recall this image when they hear mention of Iran, this work offers new, engaging perspectives. Iran, with its almost three thousand years of history, is home to one of the world's richest and most complex cultures. Daniel, a world-renowned expert on Iran, distinguishes the Iranian people from their Arab neighbors by fully exploring the country's history and culture. The History of Iran is an objective and intriguing portrait of Iran's complex history. This innovative work is ideal for student use and for the interested reader.

| Summary/Abstract |
1953, Tehran. Amidst the political upheaval of the time, Roya finds an oasis in kindly Mr. Fakhri's book and stationery shop. When he introduces Roya to his other favorite customer, handsome Bahman, who has a burning passion for justice and a love for Rumi's poetry, she loses her heart at once. On the eve of their marriage, violence erupts. In the chaos of the coup d'etat, Bahman never shows, and Roya moves on to a life in the U.S. More than sixty years later, an accident of fate leads her back to Bahman and offers her a chance to ask him the questions that have haunted her for more than half a century: Why did he leave? Where did he go? How was he able to forget her? - adapted from jacket
