Maggiori informazioni sul libro
"The four hundred years which followed the explosive spread of Islam in the 7th century brought a unique fusion of cultures to Iran -- unique, because Iran embraced Islam while maintaining continuity with its own Persian heritage. The result was the great age of Iranian civilization, a broad culture created from the meeting of traditions: art and architecture flourished; Persian poetry flowered, in a language expanded by the rich Arabic vocabulary; great advances were made in science and medicine. Richard Frye, the world authority in this field, describes these centuries as a 'high point in human achievement; not only a golden age for the Islamic world but for the whole world at a time.'" -- Book jacket
