About This Novel
Starting from the 2nd millennium BC, a branch of the Aryans began to migrate from Central Asia to the southern shore of the Caspian Sea, and then took root and developed in the Iranian Plateau, eventually establishing one of the most powerful civilizations in world history: the Persian Empire. In the thousands of years that followed, although the Persian Empire created by Cyrus the Great was lost in the dust of history, other dynasties that emerged on this land were deeply influenced by the Persian Empire. Thanks to revisiting history again and again, Iran stands in a unique position in the turbulent Middle East. The picture presented by the name "Persia" is romance, roses and nightingales in exquisite gardens, carpets with brilliant colors like jewels, poetry and moving music; when it comes to Iran, the picture changes to a frowning religious teacher, black oil, a face under a black veil... Two seemingly contradictory pictures are intertwined on the same land, making Iran (Persia) the most unique existence in the Middle East.
