Persian Historiography
ISBN: 9780748612765 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why write history in Persian?
Persian historical writing has received little attention as compared with Arabic, especially as seen in the early (pre-Mongol) period.

Discussions tend to concentrate on its sources in pre-Islamic Persian and in Arabic works, while the reasons for its emergence, its connections with Iranian and Arabic models, its political and cultural functions, and its reception, have been...

Keelung Hong and Stephen O. Murray examine how Taiwanese realities have been represented-and misrepresented-in American social science literature, especially anthropology, in the post-World War II period. They trace...

Making Of A Frontier: Five Years' Experiences And Adventures In Gilgit, Hunza, Nagar, Chitral & The Eastern Hindu-Kush. PREFACE. SOME word of explanation seems due when an unknown writer obtrudes a personal narrative on the public. My reason for writing this book was, that as the story of the development of the Gilgit Frontier, told in my letters and diaries, was read with interest by some who saw those papers, it seemed probable that its publication might give to those who have no chance of seeing the sort of life their countrymen lead on an uncivilised frontier, a faithful idea of what such...
