Explore the captivating interplay between Persian culture and European history in 'Persophilia,' a groundbreaking examination that reveals the enduring fascination with Persia from the Biblical period through to the Renaissance and Enlightenment. This insightful book, published by Harvard University Press, delves into how a diverse range of European artists, poets, and thinkers drew inspiration from Persian civilization, crafting a rich cultural dialogue. Far from a fleeting curiosity, this engagement has profoundly influenced Western perspectives and has shaped the self-image of Iranians through the ages.

Hamid Dabashi masterfully maps the evolving connections between Persia and the West, illustrating that the exchange of ideas regarding Persia was reciprocal, not one-dimensional. By incorporating Jürgen Habermas's theory of the public sphere and moving beyond Edward Said's analysis, Dabashi explores how Iranians responded to their reflections in Western narratives, thereby establishing a civic space amid the challenges of colonialism.

With references ranging from Xenophon's 'Cyropaedia' to Nietzsche's 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra,' and from Handel's opera 'Xerxes' to Puccini's 'Turandot,' as well as the artistic expressions of Gauguin and Matisse, 'Persophilia' offers a thought-provoking reinterpretation of world history. This essential read dismantles normative historiography and provides fresh insights into the complexities of postcolonial identity, making it a vital addition to your library of cultural studies and historical discourse.

Quality suit at an amazing price!
Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large
This suit was perfect for my son’s senior prom. Quality material and fit him perfectly! This was ideal when you don’t want to rent a tuxedo, knowing he will use it again and again. He looked so very handsome.

Great suit! Suit is well made for the price. Very comfortable, nice material and could be worn for any occasion no matter the time of year. We ordered according to the size chart and fit great! Would be easy to do a little tailoring if needed tho. Came in quick and is exactly what we needed. Will be ordering other colors for the future!

Just an unbelievable purchase and strongly recommend
Color: Black, Size: Medium
Unbelievable! One of the BEST purchases I made. Fits perfectly, wasn’t wrinkled at all. In fact, I don’t need to take it to the cleaners to be pressed. Class all the way. Well made, elegant, fabric was perfect as it was not too thin. Compared to tuxedos in the store and this was exactly the same. Only difference is this suit was $150 less!

Good. Decent quality.
Color: Black, Size: Small
The quality is good, especially for the price. I didn’t like that the wrist buttons were non functional. We bought cuffs that he couldn’t use. It looks nice. The size is a little big for my son, but that was kind of expected. I was hoping we would get lucky and that wouldn’t be the case but I couldn’t find any suites in a smaller size that would arrive on time. He is 5’7, 120-125 pounds. It was mostly in the shoulders that it looks big. He is thin. The arm length fit him but he does have long arms. The pants fit with a little looseness. His jeans size at American eagle is 28/36, but he can fit slightly bigger with a belt. The pants were good but the vest and jacket were a little big. They’re just slightly long and jacket is big in the shoulders. We got a size small.
