Persian Lions, Persian Lambs: An American's Odyssey in Iran (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780595455324)

At the height of the Cold War a young American teaches in provincial Iran, near the Russian border. His students reveal their inner selves, their struggles to be modern, while still caught in ancient Persian traditions. Hailed as a travel book in the great tradition, the Chicago Tribune called it "a delicious rarity that one is sorry to finish but happy to recommend," and the London Sunday Telegraph: "Observant and often poignant, it is profound in its questions." The New York Times Book Review: "An urbane and well-written account . Mr. Harnack has eminently succeeded."
