    Journey through Iran by poet intending to show its human side
  

*by P***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2022*

Wonderfully written account of meetings with Iranian people, scholars, mystics, poets and families and to give a sense of their everyday lives and the spiritual contexts.  The author as poet had special access to other creative people and spiritual leaders and to their homes.  It brought Iran and its people to life.

    Saved by Beauty
  

*by K***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2015*

This is a story of the author's trip to Iran, a dream from adolescence, to see the land of the Persian poets and the great gardens and magnificent mosques and to meet with the clerics, sheiks and leaders of minority faiths, like Sufi and Zoroasterian, to uncover the many anomalies that represent Iran, the conflicts between the rulers and the way the general artistic population lives, the compromises citizens make to find a place of expression and creativity..and the hopes of the younger population.The Iranian population is very pro-American, as was once the population of Iraq, they were two of the only Middles Eastern countries whose average citizen loved Americans, in spite of the despots that rules them. Iran's culture which goes back thousands of years has the patience to survive any government, and the love of their country, culture, heros and poets give most Iranians hope for a future where beauty and friendship will be the future.

    A timely addition to historical facts
  

*by Z***I on Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2011*

This is a timely addition to the recently published books regarding relations between the US and Iran. It is a relaist's view of a people with historical and emototional ties to the US.It should be included in the reading material reccomended for the statespeople responsible for managing this relationship. At a time when both sides have legitimate claims on grievances resulting from their behavior during the recent past, a book aimed at healing is timely and appropriate. As a sort of travel book, it is surprisingly a fast read and a page turner.I highly recommend the book.
