{"product_id":"iran-stephen-platt-9781912460052","title":"Iran: Tales of Persia","description":"I visited Iran twice: in 2014 and 2015. On the first visit I went to Manjil and Bam, two cities devastated by earthquakes in 1990 and 2003. I wanted to see how they were recovering. It was difficult to get a visa and I had to go to the Iranian Embassy in Istanbul and then to a police station in Tehran to get them extended. It is a great privilege to see a country through the intimate daily lives of its people In 2013, on a mission to Japan, I met a young Iranian who invited me to meet her family - the Mahdavians. On both trips I stayed in their home and they looked after me and showed me around. Iran has a long history and many important historic sites. Persia is one of the oldest civilisations in the world dating to 7,000 BC. I visited famous sites - Persepolis, Isfahan, Shiraz, Yadz and Kerman. Iran is mountainous with deserts and lush green countryside. I visited both, climbed mountains, went skiing and paddled in the Caspian Sea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Platt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 191246005X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781912460052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leveret Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.21d","brand":"Stephen Platt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442637451519,"sku":"9781912460052","price":26.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ebcaaaa8-fedc-4dd0-b4e2-d8dbe7b1822c.jpg?v=1777198744","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/iran-stephen-platt-9781912460052","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
