When Jamie Maslin decides to hitchhike the entire length of the Silk Road, he decides to travel first and plan later. Then, unexpectedly stranded in Iran - a country he's only read about in newspapers - he wonders whether he'll make it out alive.

After crossing the border on foot from Turkey, Maslin finds himself suddenly plunged into the subversive, contradictory world of Iranian subculture, where he is embraced by locals who are happy to show him the true Iran as they see it - where tourists are treated like royalty, where cab drivers shout abuse at Mullahs from their car windows, where unmarried men and women mingle in Western clothes at secret parties, and where cans of whisky (the possession of which is punishable by lashings) are readily available on the black market.

This is the charming and astonishing account of one Westerner's life-altering rambles across Iran that illustrates first-hand the attitudes and aspirations of a nation in flux.

Editör yorumları

Jamie Maslin's real firsthand account of Iran will change the way you think about the Middle East. In this piece of fast-paced travel writing, Maslin tells about an Iran often left out of traditional American media depictions. Filled with keen insights and uncommon perspectives, this is a must for anyone interested in the zeitgeist and subcultures of Iran. Stephen Hoye's performance relays descriptions of foreign place and foreign people in a relatable way, while still alluding to the danger that lurks around every corner of this often-hostile land.

It was a nice experience hearing about my own country this way , certainly leaned a few new things myself . Shame the situation then and now is different.
My only critique is pronunciation of some Persian names which could be better . The cooling towed of Yazd are better pronounced as Bud Gear 🙂.

Delightful

Well worth listening to given that Iran may be the casus belli of a WW3. Iranians have a v interesting culture in which hospitality occupies a important role. The author has a pleasant, dry sense of humour and manages to put over a fair amount of Iranian history -- going back a long way -- and it's actually a page-turner given the many unexpected encounters & surprising twists in the author's holiday.

Fascinating & eye-opening view of Iran

I took a punt on this book as a have been to Iran myself and wanted to see what Jamie discovered. A witty and insightful story of his travels, discovering Iran and its friendly and inquisitive people.

Entertaining diary of unlikely travels

Loved the way Jamie was able to objectively portray his travels in the much demonised Axis of Evil state of Iran. Makes me want to get on the next plane there.
