Amir Abbas Hoveyda was a central figure in the historic struggle between modernity and tradition in Iran -- a struggle pitting Western cosmopolitanism against Persian isolationism, secularism against religious fundamentalism, and ultimately civil society and democracy against authoritarianism. The Persian Sphinx is biography at its most powerful and reads like a modern-day Shakespearean tragedy. It will reward the general reader and the scholar alike. \u003c\/span\u003eText in Persian.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mage Publishers Inc (US)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65441510916445,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781933823034.jpg?v=1789102871","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9781933823034","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
