Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Across Persia is a travelogue written by Crawshay Williams and Eliot, originally published in 1907. The book details the authors' journey through Persia (modern-day Iran) in the early 20th century, during a time of political unrest and uncertainty. The authors provide a vivid and detailed account of their experiences, including descriptions of the landscapes, people, and customs of Persia. They travel through various cities and towns, including Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz, and encounter a wide range of people, from wealthy merchants to nomadic tribes. Throughout the book, the authors also provide insight into the political and social climate of Persia at the time, including the influence of foreign powers and the struggles of the Persian people to maintain their independence. Overall, Across Persia provides a fascinating glimpse into a country and culture that was largely unknown to Western readers at the time of its publication.
