Beschreibung:
MASOUD BEHNOUD, a prominent Iranian journalist, historian and writer, was born on July 27, 1947 in Tehran. He has written six books on the contemporary history of Iran. His trilogy of books, Ameeneh, Khanoum [The Knot in the Rug] and The Broken Urn, is aimed at familiarizing the reader with the history of Iran and prominent international events going from the eighteenth century up to present times.
The Knot in the Rug encapsulates the massive upheavals of the first half of twentieth century from a point of view that the English-speaking readership rarely glimpses. The twists and turns in the life of the book's heroine make for a gripping read, whilst at the same time shedding light on traditional Persian customs of birth, marriage and death.
