{"product_id":"persia-and-the-persian-question-george-nathaniel-curzon-9781108080842","title":"Persia and the Persian Question","description":"Following his election to Parliament, George Nathaniel Curzon (1859-1925) embarked on extensive travels and research in Asia, spending several months in Persia in 1889-90. Later viceroy of India, Curzon believed that growing Russian influence in Asia threatened Britain's interests, and that Persia was an important buffer state. Highly regarded upon publication in 1892, this illustrated two-volume work is a mix of history, geography, travel narrative, and social and political analysis. Intended to educate readers at home as to Persia's strategic significance, the work reflects its author's staunch support for British imperialism. Volume 1 describes Curzon's journey to Tehran, offering observations on the situation in the provinces which bordered Russian-controlled territory. Curzon then gives an overview of Persian institutions, including the monarchy, government, and the army. His Problems of the Far East (1894) is also reissued in this series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Nathaniel Curzon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108080847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108080842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.70d","brand":"George Nathaniel Curzon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46110659182847,"sku":"9781108080842","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4e7bd9f-3706-4ed3-b7a4-5c839936be61.jpg?v=1725469411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/persia-and-the-persian-question-george-nathaniel-curzon-9781108080842","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
