520 1 _a"Drawing on three years of travel and research, Jason Elliot's Mirrors of the Unseen is a portrait of Iran, a much-misrepresented country and once home to the world's earliest superpower." "In Mirrors of the Unseen we are introduced to the urban contradictions of the capital, Tehran, and invited to ponder the sublime architecture of Isfahan; we travel on horseback through the forests of the north and across the bleak landscapes of Kurdistan, and re-trace Byron's steps to such fabled monuments as the tower of Qabus, the palace of Firuzabad and Persepolis." "But this is more than just an exploration of the immensely rich heritage of Persian culture; it is also a personal enquiry into the nature of Persian and Islamic art that challenges many long-cherished conventions and yields unexpected insights into the artistic world in which the genius of Persia played such a crucial role."--BOOK JACKET.
