Touraj Daryaee

Historian wins award for book on Sasanian Persia

I.B.Tauris is pleased to announce that Sasanian Persia: The Rise and Fall of an Empire by Touraj Daryaee is one of the winners of this year's British-Kuwait Friendship Society Prize in Middle Eastern Studies. The prize is awarded by the British Society for Middle Eastern Studies (BRISMES) and was announced at a ceremony on Monday. Declaring the book "a masterpiece" the judges of the prize commented that it is "a very fine book indeed" and "offers a timely counterpart to Eurocentricity which has distorted the study of antiquity...[in] an extremely erudite book...the author wears his learning lightly, showing an enviable ability to distinguish the wood from the trees and write in a reader friendly manner".

Doesn't he look like the king on the book cover? :)

I like history, mostly because it keeps repeating itself, and if you know the history you'll know the future.

Wonderfull dude

wonderfull mind, original & a great Kiaanophil character promoting his unique heritage unapologetically. Fortunately, the only thing he has in common with his ironic presenter Javadsha is his hair.

Cheers!!!
