Product Description

Product Description

Afshin Molavi, a rising young journalist born in Iran and fluent in Farsi, travelled his homeland for one year. Along the way he met a wide variety of people from a wide variety of backgrounds - students, bazaar merchants, Islamic clerics, homeless children, pro-democracy writers, Islamic hardliners, feminists, and kids hooked on anything western. They all discusses matters which were important to them: unemployment, freedom, religion, poetry, history, love, and green cards. This journey documents the real feeling of a nation, not the ones seen on camera.


About the Author

AFSHIN MOLAVI holds a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University and has reported on Iran for Reuters and the Washington Post.

4.0 out of 5 stars Persian Pilgrimages, 6 Feb 2004
A highly readable and informative book. I read this after having lived in Iran for some 3 months so the book both explained and confirmed characteristics of living in Iran that I had already experienced ,and prepared me for some of those not yet confronted!
A book both for the shorter term tourist and ,as in my case, an expatriate living and working in the country.
Iran is a country which receives a rotten and biased press in the west.A fascinating country with a rich history and a very central position in the current turmoil in the Middle East and Central Asia.
Afshin's book is a balanced mixture of history and current events. If your the slightest bit intersted ,or curious ,about Iran ,read this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is the Iran of today - an enthralling read, 2 Aug 2004
By A Customer
Very well written, accessible and interesting book. Benefits both from being up-to-date.

Consequently, it captures the Iran of today and not of five or ten years ago, especially in the popular cynicism about the reformists - and it also avoids the dreadful fear of so many western writers of upsetting Iranian sensibilities.

This is a book that will enthrall the first-time visitor or reader who knows little or nothing about Iran - but will also delight the seasoned observer. Not an easy task.
