Iran Four Thousand Years
by (iran) Hochan Nahavandi (france) Yves Bomati
About This Novel
A book of wisdom that uses philosophy to explain life. Iran, an ancient oriental country with a mysterious face, is the heart of the turbulent zone in the Middle East and the focus of the world's attention. By the 6th century BC, it had become a worldwide empire spanning Asia, Europe, and Africa, and it had also left behind a rich legacy of political governance and literary and artistic treasures. How should we understand Iran and understand its current status? One of the two authors is the former president of Shiraz University and Tehran University in Iran, and the other is a well-known French scholar of Middle East history. As they tell, the 4,000-year historical picture of Iran slowly unfolds in front of us. Here, Elamite civilization, Persian civilization, Greek civilization, Turkic civilization, Mongolian civilization, and Arab civilization alternated and collided, and dynasties were established and destroyed one after another. What administrative system did they adopt, what splendid culture did they leave behind, and what religious policies did they pursue?

This book mainly describes the past and present life of Iran.
This book is a historical reading of Iran, starting from primitive society to the early years of the Pahlavi Dynasty in the 20th century, with a time span of about 4,000 years. This book introduces the rise and fall of the ancient Persian Empire and Iranian dynasties in chronological order, with clear logic and fluent writing. It is very suitable for history lovers who are new to Iranian history. Judging from the narrative in this book, Iran is a country with a long history and profound cultural heritage. It gives me the feeling that although Iran today is an Islamic country, it still seems to have the genes of ancient Persian civilization in its bones, and its national pride and self-esteem are very strong. This is true from the fact that Iran regards Cyrus as the founding father of the country and the famous rulers of all dynasties as one of its own. Thinking of the difficult moments Iran is facing now, this sense of national pride and profound cultural heritage may be the foundation for Iran to resolutely resist aggression. But there is a small question. Why does this book not talk about the events after Reza Khan of the Pahlavi Dynasty and before the 1979 Iranian Revolution? Is it political?
