255K01

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?
