The eclectic essays of lauded Harvard professor Roy Mottahedeh

Keine Beschreibung.

An updated classic study of 10th- and 11th-century society in Buyid Iran. Arguing that medieval Islamic society must be understood in its own cultural terms, the author explains how it was able to function in a stable manner without the type of political institutions familiar to the West.

Drawn from the first-hand accounts of eyewitnesses, Mottahedeh's absorbing tale of Islam and politics in revolutionary Iran is widely regarded as one of the best records of that turbulent time. This revised edition includes a new chronology detailing events in Iran from the revolution up to the present day.
