Iranian Leviathan: A Monumental History of Mithra's Abode

About this book

No other nation on Earth has contributed more to the elevation of the human spirit, and to the enrichment of every aspect of civilization, than Iran. In this much-needed vindication of the Persian people, Jason Reza Jorjani argues that the country’s very landscape has endowed its inhabitants with a bold and transcendent outlook, and that it is this unique cosmological vision which has underwritten the strength, continuity, and diversity of one of the world’s oldest cultures. Drawing on history, philosophy, religion, mythology, and art, Iranian Leviathan offers an epic account of the Iranian genius and a sweeping reevaluation of Iran’s place in world history. Jorjani shows how the Iranian people have, for millennia, been the custodians of a spiritual and cultural legacy that has profoundly shaped the course of civilization. At once a work of sweeping historical synthesis and a passionate defense of Iranian civilization, Iranian Leviathan is an indispensable contribution to the understanding of the Persian world and its enduring significance.
