Inward Gaze

Posted on 21 April, 2013 by yazdi

SHE is an English teacher who is currently between jobs, but Avan Jesia has a lot to keep her busy right now. For starters, she is overwhelmed by the response to her book, Tower. A saga of love and loss spanning three generations of a Parsi family, this is her first book. Jesia notes how she never thought she would write a novel. “I’ve always written bits and pieces through the years — mainly poetry,” recollects former model Mehr Jesia Rampal’s sister.

New Titles at FIRES (Houston)

Books are also available on amazon.com or your local public library.
 
According to historian Will Durant, Cyrus the Great’s military enemies knew that he was lenient, and they did not fight him with that desperate courage which men show when their only choice is “to kill or die.”  As a result the Iranians regarded him as “The Father,” the Babylonians as “The Liberator,” the Greeks as the “Law-Giver,” and the Jews as the “Anointed of the Lord.”
 
Xenophon’s Cyrus the Great: The Arts of Leadership and War by Larry Hedrick (Editor)
By freshening the voice and style that Xenophon ascribed to Cyrus, Larry Hedrick has fashioned a more intimate Cyrus.  A new generation of readers, including executives, managers, and military officers, can now learn from Cyrus’s leaderships and wisdom in Xenophon’s narrative.
 
Cyrus the Great by Jacob Abbott
Cyrus the Great (c. 600 BC or 576 BC to December 530 BC), also known as Cyrus II or Cyrus of Persia, was the founder of the Persian Empire.  It was under his own rule that the empire embraced all previous civilized states of the ancient Near East, expanded vastly and eventually conquered most of Southwest Asia and much of Central Asia, parts of Europe and Caucasus, from the Mediterranean sea and the Hellespont in the west to the Indus River in the east, to create the largest empire the world had yet seen.  The reign of Cyrus lasted between 29 and 31 years.
Cyrus the Great by Harold Lamb
Harold Lamb’s narrative of the life of Cyrus, the King of Persia who conquered the Medes, Lydians and Babylonians and marched into those mysterious lands to the east forging the largest empire of the time.  Some of the book is, of course, informed speculation about everything from Cyrus’s childhood to his motivations as an adult.  The book was originally written in 1960.
 
Cyrus Cylinder by John Curtis, Neil MacGregor and Irving Finkel (May 2013 release)
This catalogue is being published in conjunction with the first ever tour of the object to the United States, along with sixteen other objects from the British Museums collection.  The book discusses how these objects demonstrate the innovations initiated by Persian rule in the Ancient Near East (550 BC-331 BC), a prime example being a gold plaque from the Oxus Treasure with the representation of a priest that shows the spread of the Zoroastrian religion.
 
Cyrus the Great by Samuel Willard Crompton.
This is one in a series of the Ancient World Leaders and can be found in public and school libraries

Zoroastrian Catechism

Posted on 13 March, 2013 by Support

A Fore-word.

 

We have many books of Zoroastrian Catechism in Gujarati, but this is, if I do not mistake, the first attempt of its kind in English. ‘

It is a rendering, not an exact translation, of my book on Zoroastrian Catechism in Gujarati published in 1907 under the auspices of   “The Society for the promotion of Zoroastrian Religious Education and Knowledge.”

There are several Zoroastrian children, “who grow up without a good knowledge of Gujarati, and there are many, whose parents would wish them to read the principles of their Faith in English. I hope this brochure will be of use to them.

I note below, with pleasure, what some of the Head-Masters of our leading Parsee schools have said of this Catechism in its Gujarati garb.

JIVANJI JAMSHEDJI MODI.

Maba, Roz 4, Mah 3, 1280 Yazdazardi,

16th November 1910

The curious case of Samuel Guise

Posted on 18 February, 2013 by Support

HI all,

Came across this interesting paper on Academia.edu, which chronicles the
life and times of this intrepid Englishman who spent almost all his fortune
collecting precious manuscripts, many of them Zoroastrian. Some of this
makes very painful reading. It seems difficult to believe how the widow of
Dastur Darab would have sold the manuscripts to him…
