Travel, history, and Islamic art in Iran

Jason Elliot’s account brings together independent travel and research with observations of contemporary Iranian life, historical context, and an inquiry into Islamic art. The book ranges across these subjects to consider Iran as both a present-day society and a country with a long historical inheritance. The publisher description notes that Elliot’s own sketches and photographs accompany the text, adding a visual element to its portrait of the country and its culture.

Book overview

Filling a long-neglected gap in the travel writing of the region, Jason Elliot's Mirrors of the Unseen is 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 Unseen is a rich, sensitive, and vivid account of a country and its culture.
