Infused with a distinctive orientalism, 'Persian Pictures' is an evocative, virtuosic meditation, moving sinuously between Persia's heroic, complex, mythical past and its present decline; the public face of Tehran and the otherworldly 'secret, mysterious life of the East', the lives of its women, its enclosed, quasi-medieval gardens; from the bustling cities to the lonely wastelands of Khorasan. Bell's documentation of Muharram – the month of mourning for Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Mohammed – and Ramadan, display a mind finely attuned to the differences and similarities between Islam and Christianity, East and West. 'Persian Pictures' is both travelogue and meditation, an elegiac and beautifully observed account of a spellbinding land.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anthem Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59768733990993,"sku":"1843311690","price":42400.0,"currency_code":"CLP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/6455\/3809\/files\/81DrncIn-rL.jpg?v=1783487948","url":"https:\/\/provetodo.cl\/es-cl\/products\/libro-persian-pictures-anthem-travel-classics","provider":"Provetodo ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
