Since the rediscovery of her work in the late 1980s, Annemarie Schwarzenbach - journalist, traveler, archaeologist, opium addict, and antifascist novelist - has become a European cult figure among free spirited bohemians. Available in English for the first time and beautifully translated by Lucy Renner Jones, "Death in Persia" is a collage of the political and the private, documenting Schwarzenbach's intimate feelings and public ideas during four trips to Persia between 1933 and 1939. From her reflections on individual responsibility in the lead-up to World War II to her reactions to accusations from her friends of having deserted Europe and the antifascist cause for Tehran, Schwarzenbach recorded a great deal about daily life in Persia, and, most personally, her ill-fated love affair with Jalé, the daughter of the Turkish ambassador. Chronologically preceding Schwarzenbach's exquisite travelogue "All the Roads are Open", an account of her automobile journey from Geneva to Afghanistan in 1939, "Death in Persia" is the enthralling diary of an astute observer standing at the crossroads of major events in history and a gorgeous new addition to Annemarie Schwarzenbach's growing English-language oeuvre

In this erudite and piercing biography, best-selling author Reza Aslan proves that one person’s actions can have revolutionary consequences that reverberate the world over. Little known in America but venerated as a martyr in Iran, Howard Baskerville was a twenty-two-year-old Christian missionary from South Dakota who traveled to Persia (modern-day Iran) in 1907 for a two-year stint teaching English and preaching the gospel. He arrived in the midst of a democratic revolution—the first of its kind in the Middle East—led by a group of brilliant young firebrands committed to transforming their country into a fully self-determining, constitutional monarchy, one with free elections and an independent parliament. The Persian students Baskerville educated in English in turn educated him about their struggle for democracy, ultimately inspiring him to leave his teaching post and join them in their fight against a tyrannical shah and his British and Russian backers. “The only difference between me and these people is the place of my birth," Baskerville declared, “and that is not a big difference.” In 1909, Baskerville was killed in battle alongside his students, but his martyrdom spurred on the revolutionaries who succeeded in removing the shah from power, signing a new constitution, and rebuilding parliament in Tehran. To this day, Baskerville’s tomb in the city of Tabriz remains a place of pilgrimage. Every year, thousands of Iranians visit his grave to honor the American who gave his life for Iran. In this rip-roaring tale of his life and death, Aslan gives us a powerful parable about the universal ideals of democracy—and to what degree Americans are willing to support those ideals in a foreign land. Woven throughout is an essential history of the nation we now know as Iran—frequently demonized and misunderstood in the West. Indeed, Baskerville’s life and death represent a “road not taken” in Iran. Baskerville’s story, like his life, is at the center of a whirlwind in which Americans must ask themselves: How seriously do we take our ideals of constitutional democracy and whose freedom do we support?

At first, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlawi had a grand vision: to catapult Iran from a deep sleep into modernity. But free modern people did not fit his vision. When his subjects sought protection from the Shah's vision and police violence, they found it in the past, in Islam. Omid was one of the revolutionaries who overthrew the Shah in February 1979 and seized power. Now they worked with great zeal to realise their vision: to establish a theocracy with believers. They also failed. Omid realises that the new rulers want to use the Shah's methods to make the people compliant. Violence is used to silence dissenters. Disappointed, he turns away. Omid's fate stands for all Iranians who now want to live in a free and modern Iran.

Excerpt from The Light of Persia: Or the Death of Mammon and Other Poems of Prophecy Profit and Peace Herbert Spencer says the great superstition of the past was the divine right of kings; the great superstition of the the present is the divine right of parliaments (legislatures). As the divinity of God kept the people poor the divinity of Government perpetuates the curse. It seems to me that all who advocate Individual Sovereignty should direct all their energies against the superstition of the State. All men agree as to the pernicious and corrupting influence of politics, but most of them look upon it as essential in the preliminary of government, which is necessary." - A. L. Ballou. Is it at all surprising that the number of those who hold the opinion of the Church in light esteem should so rapidly increase? How can that be received as a trustworthy guide in the invisible which falls into so many errors in the visible?
