Condition: Gut. 1st ed.,. IX, 389 S., (mit Autoren - SIGNATUR) , Zustand: leichte Gebrauchsspuren, Einband/Schutzumschlag gering berieben, gutes Exemplar. Text / Sprache: Englisch , Born in pre-World War II Persia, Mehry M. Reid grew up in a country that was slowly emerging from years of domination by a religious hierarchy. Her close-knit family, which included several family retainers, was educated and progressive and brought her up to appreciate Persian history, literature, and art, instilling in her the traditional Persian love of poetry and a healthy skepticism of superstition and religious hypocrisy. The freedom enjoyed under a constitutional monarchy by Mehry's family and others of the Persian intelligentsia ended with the revolution in 1979, when thou-sands were forced to flee the country in order to escape the barbarism and repression that are the hallmarks of the current fundamentalist regime. Snake's Marble: A Persian Memoir, which Mehry wrote in collaboration with her husband, Thomas R. Reid, M.D., recalls that early life and the traditional Persian values she still cherishes. It is her hope that these memoirs will help keep those traditions alive in the minds and hearts of Persians wherever they might be. Snake's Marble: A Persian Memoir , Mehry M. Reid and Thomas R. Reid. 10678A ISBN 0533113873 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 800 24 cm, gebundene Ausgabe mit Original-SchutzUmschlag,
