Persia, well well well, how many times
have we heard this word! And listened or
read its stories.
Its
king, Syrus the great who have saved the
Jews of Babel!! Or Esther, the wife of
another Persian king...and again the
magi, who were the messenger of the
Persian king, for saving the little
Jesus and his mother from the Romans
massacre by financing his voyage of many
years or again the thousand and one
nights which was created at Baghdad, a
city with a Persian name which means
godly given!!!
And
in the heart of Persia with the
abbasside khalif who governed with
wisdom and intellect by forgetting the
Moslem fundamentalism for more than 400
years and at last the great Persian
scholars who, for staying alive, have
accepted to be a Moslem by formality but
they were always loyal to the ancient
Persian thought of Avesta, of Avicenne,
the father of medicine, until Farabi who
is the person who created and wrote the
music notes and Omar Khayyam, great
mathematician, astrologer, philosopher
who said the human philosophy by a few
quatrains.
With Montesquieu and how can we be a
persian, Nietsh, Voltaire, Millet,
Miller, Bartolome, Goethe and many more
European scholars who wrote many things
about the Persians thought...
And
finally, the 7000 years of Pesrian art
exposition, organised in 1961 at the
grand palace of Paris which was
inaugurated by Charles de Gaulle and
André Malraux or even the same
exposition at Bonn in 2000, Vienna in
2001, Brussels in 2002...
...And here is the book, which will give
you a few drops of 7000 years of Persian
civilisation... |
