The Story of Persia, written by Samuel Greene Wheeler Benjamin in 1887, is a comprehensive account of the history of Persia, from ancient times to the late 19th century. The book provides a detailed analysis of the political, social, and cultural developments of Persia, including the rise and fall of various dynasties, the influence of religion, and the interactions with neighboring countries. The book begins with an overview of the geography and climate of Persia, followed by a discussion of the earliest civilizations that inhabited the region. It then traces the rise of the Achaemenid Empire, which was followed by the conquests of Alexander the Great and the subsequent rule of the Seleucid and Parthian dynasties. The book also covers the rise of Islam and the subsequent establishment of the Safavid dynasty, which saw Persia become a major power in the Islamic world. The author also discusses the decline of the Safavid dynasty and the subsequent rule of the Qajar dynasty, which lasted until the early 20th century. Throughout the book, the author provides insights into the cultural and intellectual developments of Persia, including the influence of Persian literature, art, and architecture. The book also examines the relationship between Persia and other countries, including the Ottoman Empire, Russia, and Britain. Overall, The Story of Persia is a comprehensive and engaging account of the history of Persia, providing readers with a detailed understanding of the country’s rich cultural heritage and political history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
