Guzīdah-i safarnāmah-i Tihrān

This volume provides a focused translation of the Tihrān-specific portions of James Morier's extensive travel chronicles, originally published as "A Second Journey through Persia." Covering the early 19th century, the text illuminates the social and physical landscape of Tihrān during the reign of Fatḥ ʻAlī Shāh Qājār. Edited by Farshād Abrīshamī, this edition isolates Morier's sharp, often critical observations of the Persian capital, offering researchers and history enthusiasts a direct window into the diplomatic and urban atmosphere of the Qājār era. The work serves as both a historical primary source and a companion to Morier's literary contributions, detailing the customs, architecture, and courtly life of Īrān as perceived by a foreign emissary at the height of the Great Game.
