Onbekend Engels 2011 9781108028653Samenvatting
The product of a lifetime spent in India and the Middle East, for over a century this two-volume work by Sir John Malcolm (1769–1833), first published in 1815, remained the most trusted chronicle of Persia. Translated into French, German and Persian, the detailed and diverse contents earned its diplomat author an honorary Doctorate of Laws from the University of Oxford. Although learned, Malcolm's narrative is informed by personal experiences acquired while serving as an envoy and secretary to the governor general, a position which clearly shaped his views on the country's political character. Volume 1 covers from the ancient dynasties of Paishdadian and Kaianian, through the Roman period, until 1722 with the reign of Mahmood. Volume 2 goes on to provide a detailed history of modern Persia, incorporating descriptions of its religions, government, climate and social conventions, and sees a need for major reforms.
