Glimpses Of Life And Manners In Persia

By Mary Leonora Woulfe Sheil

Book Overview

""Glimpses of Life and Manners in Persia"" is a book written by Lady Sheil, an Englishwoman who traveled extensively throughout Persia (modern-day Iran) in the mid-19th century. The book is a collection of her observations and experiences, offering a unique insight into the culture, customs, and daily life of the Persian people during this period. Lady Sheil provides detailed descriptions of everything from the architecture and clothing to the food and religious practices of the Persians. She also offers her own opinions on various aspects of Persian society, including the treatment of women and the influence of religion on daily life. The book is a fascinating glimpse into a world that is now largely lost to history, and provides a valuable perspective on the complex and diverse culture of Persia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
