Filling a long-neglected gap in the travel writing of the region,Mirrors of the Unseenis a rare and timely portrait of the nation descended from the world's earliest superpower: Iran. Animated by the same spirit of exploration as its acclaimed predecessor,An Unexpected Light,and drawing on several years of independent travel and research, this thought-provoking work weaves together observations of life in contemporary Iran with history, politics, and a penetrating enquiry into the secrets of Islamic art. Generously illustrated with the author's own sketches and photographs,Mirrors of the Unseenis a rich, sensitive, and vivid account of a country and its culture. (BIP)
