Fakhredin Blog
The posts in this weblog are mainly about history, heritage, language, art, and culture of Persia (that is named Iran since 1934). Persia is, therefore, equal to Iran, and Persian is equal to Iranian. Note that Persian is a nationality not an ethnicity. Pars (or Fars) is the major ethnicity in Persia but there are also Persian Kurds or Arabs. Similarly, the official language in Persia is Persian (Farsi is the local name and may not be used internationally). For more details please read my posts.

I Awake in Your Eyes
The 30th issue of the Italian journal PRIVATE shows a collection of black and white photos from Persia, plus pieces of text (mainly modern poetry).
The photo's are atristic, no doubt about that! But it gives me a restless feeling of sadness. To my point of view, it is a good collection for those who are nostalgic about old Persia. For those who live in today, and looking for progress, this is not a good example. It is, also, definitely not made for a reader from outside Persia who likes to know the country for the first time.
