Īrān: Persian 1402

The author of one of the most provocative texts in the history of literature - the tree-dwelling "Baron" who, on June 15, 1767, at the lunch table, put aside the plate of snail food in protest and left his aristocratic family forever and became a resident of the trees - a few years before the 1357 revolution. He came to Iran in the beautiful month of April and saw Shiraz, Takht Jamshid, Isfahan, and Yazd, and wrote about palaces and stone inscriptions, carvings and altars, nomads and fire temples, and gave us his clever description of what he had seen and heard in this land in a few notes. left a memory The leftist Calvino, who fought as a partisan from the Italian resistance front against fascism in the Second World War, also expressed his free spirit in the texts collected in the book "Iran" and civilly stood on the side of the people in the story of the kings and the people. Iran is a small and short account of a Western intellectual who has tried his best to create a suitable image of us, the sad Orientals of history.
